You’ve got humour, you’re the giggle at a funeral.
You know everybody’s disapproval.
If the heavens ever did speak, you’re the last true mouthpiece.
Every Sunday’s getting more bleak.
We were born sick, you heard them say it.
The only heaven I’ll be sent is is when I’m alone with you.
Command me to be well, amen, amen, amen!
Offer me that deathless death.
Angel of small death & The codeine scene :
No more alone or myself could I be.
No shortage of sordid, no protests from me.
With your sweetened breath, and your tongue so mean.
Feeling more human and hooked on their skin.
I lay my heart down to rest at your feet.
Wonder if it’s better now, having survived.
Defeat the sweet heat of their breath in my mouth.
So tired, trying to see from behind the red in my eyes.
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight.
For reasons wretched and divine.
Laughing away through my feeble disguise
And Lord you found me just in time
‘Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
I need to be youthfully felt ‘cause God I never felt young
Lord it’d be great to find a place to escape sometime
Go and take this the wrong way.
You knew who I was with every step that I ran to you.
Electing strange perfections in any stranger I choose.
Would things be easier if there was a right way?
Honey, there is no right way.
There’s an art to life’s distraction.
I wake at the first cringe of the morning.
And my heart’s already sinned.
Never feel too good in crowds.
All I’ve ever done is hide.
I feel like a person for a moment of my life.
But you don’t know what hell you put me through.
I know that you hate this place.
Not a trace of me would argue.
Honey, we should run away, oh, someday.
But I don’t know what else that I would give.
There’s something tragic about you.
Something so magic about you.
Something so wholesome about you.
There’s something lonesome about you.
No tired sighs, no rolling eyes.
I slithered here from Eden.
You’re familiar like my mirror years ago.
I have never known peace like the damp grass that yields to me.
A thousand teeth and yours among them, I know.
Thrown here or found, to freeze or to thaw.
We’ll lay here for years or for hours.
After the insects have made their claim.
After the foxes have known our taste.
After the raven has had his say.
Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
I’m so full of love I could barely eat.
You give me toothaches just from kissing me.
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth.
No grave can hold my body down.
I didn’t care much how long I lived.
You never asked me once about the wrong I did.
Those hands pulled me from the earth.
I will not ask you where you came from.
We should just kiss like real people do.
So, I will not ask you why you were creeping.
In some sad way, I already know.
I will not ask you where you came from
Honey, just put your sweet lips on my lips.
