lyrics

Threw the dregs onto your lawn
You wiped your grin into a sorrowful yawn
I made the steps and I checked my pulse
I saw you shaking in a slow convulse

Front of steps, faded cellophane
I never said I would swallow the pain
You lost some weight and I lost my head
I painted toes and I have barely slept

When I came to knock, I froze on the spot
The last time I left, I made hinges rock

I bent down and patted a cone
I saw a tail curled around your bones
Dark circles, thunder and eyes
You’re droppin’ hints to cover your lies

I offered you a part of my hand
I took a seat we could barely stand
I offered in in a pill stone prayer
You took it well and then I paid in tears
