lyrics

the night, it hung
like a dead man's mystery
the luck of the living
was lynched from the stars
the moon, it whimpered
and wobbled as it waned
i rocked in my soiled bed for you

we drowned, in a sea
of leaves after the fall
the slow death of colour
made greyscales of you
the dark clung to my eyelids
like dust to first dew
i dug a fresh grave for you

the night, it hummed
like a secret factory
lockets of hair
fell from the sky
cobwebs grew over
my mouth and my eyes
we chewed our nails down to the bone
