BABY STEPS - Black Dresses

You can run for the hills

You can run for the high, high trees

You can run for the toy stores that you loved so dearly in your youth

But if you really wanna know the truth

Under these ruthless grey endless skies

Greater men have lost their heads than you

It’s all about baby steps

It’s all about working towards the goal

It’s all about lying to yourself an awful lot, you really wanna know

It’s like a dream in a dream

It’s like the end of next with nicholas cage

It’s like seeing the future and realizing everything will be exactly the same

When you’re dead

And who could hope for more than that?

These streets will be lit by sun one day

Down here i’ll still be knee-deep in rats

In the sewer seeking shelter

In the dark and stinking abyss

I hate these awful sweaty summers

But i keep on heading southward thru these tunnels of piss

And i know

I know i waste every night wishing

For something

That will never come

And i know

I swear to god i know true evil

When i see it standing in the sun

And

I dream of a big house

I dream of a clear open sky

I dream of a tall figure standing between the trees

I dream of an open, staring eye

And

(rook)

Thank you for letting me live

In such a fucked up world

Thank you for letting me exist

As such a broken, ruined girl

Thank you for making me so sick

And never owning up to what you’ve done

Thank you for all the evil dreams

Thank you for killing everyone

(devi & rook)

Thank you ♡
