lyrics

Pouring out the bedroom
Heard his pillow stains
Intriguing like a sore thumb
Boyish and mundane

It should come as no surprise
The lines are oozing down my chest

Slender numbers, tender words
It’s stolen valor
Maybe he’s less than what you’ve heard
Contracted actor

Clogging up the wire
Charming hearts at large
I’m scoffing at such parlor tricks
In days of old I lead the charge

Locals with toxic inkwells
Writing off my screeds
As ramblings of a dinosaur
Stoned on reptile dreams

All along his stream
The birds have staked their claim
Scattered by the truths I’ve croaked
Across the river, through the trees

Seems he copped my outfit
With emperor tailor’s thread
But only I may wallow
And swim amongst the dead

Plainly my words splinter
Their wafer-thin routine
So I’ll go roost upon my bar
Rusting out of scene
