Bring me kerosene. Light the stage and burn me clean.
Stand me out to play. Hit the spots and look away.
These blues will stare through you, tear you up and slice you through.
Songs sung in empty halls echo out my tragic flaws.
You are not breathing when you scream.
Exhale, when you exhale you are just discarding my hope again. Again.
Break this blood machine. Flay these veins and soak my jeans.
Kneel me down to pray beneath applause out on the stage.
Take my anxious start on a page to tear apart.
Blind my azure eyes once more before I say goodbye.
You are not breathing when you scream.
Exhale, when you exhale you are just discarding my hope again. Again.
Today i woke up with my heart hammering in my throat and repeating lines coursing through my semi-conscious head like loops of crimson twine.
You are not breathing when you scream.
Exhale, when you exhale you are just discarding my hope again. Again.
