lyrics

Bliss out, you’re a free fall, daydream queen, couldn’t be
And you and I were not much, never nothing, it’s hard to describe
So single me out for all that you adore, and isn’t it sweet
I’m drifting uncertain what you were meant to mean to me

In the gunk, there’s brain dead but decent fun
Till your embers and make sisters of those years
I go diving into pools of dead desire
What could I be but your heaviness?

Back in my need, fully complete, how have you been?

Washed out in your better days, thin and faint and free of pain
And maybe all your suffering wasn’t for nothing, despite how it aches
Bathe it in cold light, all you’d kept to agonize
And wake up the same as all you thought you’d left behind

And I sunk, slow at first then all at once
In the boredom of my dead selves’ bedroom eyes
Keep it close, swaddled in your last night’s clothes
What could I find but what numbs the best?

Back in my need, fully complete, how have you been?
