Prom Song - Every Time I Die

Strung by vein to running mouth

Your whispers are the catalyst

Somebody please breathe lies

My blood’s not thick enough

I can’t hear my heart beat

When you shut (the fuck) up

Still waiting for last rites

Still waiting on a goodbye kiss to sever the dead flesh and walk away a part of

you

Please don’t tell me you’re useless with threaded lip

My hands went numb to feel like you

I should have known you were no angel by the way you said my name

I’m running out of perfect moments;

I’ve grown tired of clothing the blood

To whom it may concern:

You’ll never keep my scars from healing

You’ll never leave my bridges burning

Consciousness comes and goes

Like the routine of three lost words:

Lovers lay dead

And when you’re bound and gagged

I defy you to define me

It’s the only way to feel like I’m still breathing

I long for fresh air

Cleansed of sedition, the waters listen

Closer that I tell them everything

Then take a deep breath
