Blossom

(앨범: Balancing Survival And Happiness - 2014)

Plastic flowers
On a cold level splay
Cigarettes lay sizzling
In your
Tarred ash tray

46 and always sick
My hopes
They were all gone
Vacuum lips and every bit of smoke
Is withdrawn

Get up [2x]

A rush of fire burns
I'm in its light
Choked up or chained down

And I burned with it
And I burned with you

Every time you coughed
I feared the very worst
Thinking you ate smoke
To cure your belly's thirst

Like loose change in a coffee can
Your throat it would burst
And I wanted better for you
Strangled your days were cursed

Charred lungs
And breath that smoldered
I just couldn't see it
Till I got older

You spoke through crackles
And you walked as if you were shackled
Slowly but surely
It got you too

And I just watched
I did nothing
Fuck
