Koi

(album: Haunted Gardens - 2019)

Your scent lingers like orange peels
It's still your face when I see reflections
It cuts me open like koi gills
Underneath the mask is flammable like an oil field, still

I miss the sausage egg McMuffins
You got me on my birthday to watch my face adjustments
Father's Days, holidays & functions
The days before I got afraid
Look, here's another song for you
Just because I thought of you
Today I'm feeling lost again
I wish I could talk to you
And I wish I was stronger too
But I was never waterproof

Your scent lingers like orange peels
It's still your face when I see reflections
It cuts me open like koi gills
Underneath the mask is flammable like an oil field, still

You told me there's brighter side in life
That's something I'm still trying to find
You gave me something I could idolize
Running out of time I know not everything is final, OKAY
Still I'll smile when I say your name
You live through me you won't fade away
My memory's my favorite place
I never sleep always stay awake aye

Your scent lingers like orange peels
It's still your face when I see reflections
It cuts me open like koi gills
Underneath the mask is flammable like an oil field, still

Your scent lingers like orange peels
It's still your face when I see reflections
It cuts me open like koi gills
Underneath the mask is flammable like an oil field, still
