Swab The Temples

Rollerskate Skinny


Trying to get well 
no lies here lies 
swab the temples of the untapped dreamboy 
a jagged day in life 
for the lighthouse parasites 
I hope you'll be the same again 
well the same as us 
a rest from your tomorrows 
from the spoon and back again 
they keep you while they can 
the the only way they can kill me kill me every way you can my body is safe in my hands 
suffocate me 
in the swan wing coat I'm going where the lost sleep goes 
I'm the same yes the same so it pays to show restraint 
my body is safe in my hands trying to get well 
no lies here lies 
swab the temple before every new surprise 
a sense of a belonging 
to a few but not so few who never saw the light of day 
or felt the weight of living just sinking down into 
the bloodless arms of angels cooling down the burns of a million days
