You're Coming With Me

(album: Prisoners - 2012)

Intentional dreaming reveals a deceit less obvious
It's the liars who are punished but the liars speak the truth
I will never know your intention but I'll make clear my own
You're guilty by association and I'm taking your sentence on

To forget is the greatest (ardor)
Forgetting is the favorite cure
There aren't many days left
There aren't many days left to sleep
Suspicious, silent, bullets
Suspicious bullets silent guns

Here's where the men wear pride outside
And women smile through dragonflies
I'm the kill the retriever couldn't find
The round that got away
You were supposed to wait for me
That's how I built this up to be
Just leave my corpse to feed the worms
I'll soon just dissipate

I'm going straight to hell and you're coming with me!
Yesterday's air suffocates me

See, I have this gift to give to you
Take it carefully, it's yours
But if ever you should break it, please return it to the source
It's a shame you're not still hungry sugared hands surround the sill
Exhibitionist intentions through the window carved in skin
I'll shut up so you'll explain to me the human sacrifice
Subtle tears, I loved you too, your desperate hillsides
Your forests of depression and your houses built on lies

I'm going straight to hell and you're coming with me!
Yesterday's air suffocates me
I'll take your oxygen
Equine corpses bore me to death
Purge the fetus like arguments
Time's up, get on board, you're coming with me

It's hard to (watch you) crumble
(Watch the flames) lick your complexion bare
Removing the pretense that you cared
I see the woman facing away
I feel the distance in her gaze
One day she will turn around
And push me back so my past is erased
Flying birds like kites, my eyes are so full of sun
I don't know how I'll ever learn your language
Only an insect forgets the Earth when drawn into the sun

I'm going straight to hell and you're coming with me!
Yesterday's air suffocates me
I'll take your oxygen
Purging sense from arguments
How did we go from that to this?
Sure, I'm guilty
Still, you're coming with me
