Watch me read you
The turning pages of an epic
Dissected hallucinogenic
Black coffee addict
Life ended lies cold
On that metal tray wasting away
I watch you sneer at me
From beyond the grave I hear them call for me
Watch me read you
I get scared when it falls dark
The creeping shadows up my arm
The sneaking scarecrows work their charm
It's circumstantial
The way I blink when you get mad
Feel disarmed when you get sad
But turn to run when we fall back on old behaviors
When the flavor turns from sweet to sour
That's the hour that I seek the heavy hearts
And tired retreats with words of hatred
Watch it seep through skin like sap through bark
I cower in the dark 'til your return
When will I learn?
Watch me read you
Like words ripped right off the page
Another ghost, another day
Of melancholy UV rays and heavy eyelids
You just decided not to care
Compressed your fears and cut your hair
Lifted your shirt to find there's nothing there
Now read me
Red, white and copper skin
With curly hair and crazy eyes
Impulsive mouth, she loves the rain
But not the dark, you feel insane
The overpass is wet with blood
She turns to you to say
"Hey, we can't exist"
And in that moment it's just bliss
It's like you missed a thousand years
And as you kiss it's like you drift
Between here and there
Between real and fake
As I hold my breath I can't see your face
Watch me read me
Read you, read them, read us
Everyone's a burning book on trust and lust and love
And what we are and what we're made of
We never wanted to be more than just a silhouette
Breathing in smoke from others' bones and lying in the dirt
So make a promise but then later we can just forget
