atrophy

atrophy-the antlers and flowerface cover 2015/4/7

You've been living a while

In the front of my skull making orders

You've been writing me rules

Shrinking maps and redrawing borders

I've been repeating your speeches

But the audience just doesn't follow

Cause I'm leaving out words, punctuation

And it sounds pretty hollow

I've been living in bed

Cause now you tell me to sleep

I've been hiding my voice and my face

And you decide when I eat

In your dreams I'm a criminal

Horrible, sleeping around

While you're awake I'm impossible

Constantly letting you down

Little porcelain figurines

Glass bullets you shoot at the wall

Threats of castration for crimes

You imagine when I miss your call

With the bite of the teeth of that ring on my finger

I'm bound to your bedside, your eulogy singer

I'd happily take all those bullets inside you

And put them inside of myself
