Anything
Anything Tonight I want to slit my wrists hold the blood to god's lips and say 'taste this'
Tonight I would swear that even the man in the moon is a rapist and stars are nothing but scars bullet wounds from humanities drive by firing at the face of the sky
Tonight crying would be too easy it would please me too much and no I don't want you to touch me 'cause your hands are clean and I'm filthy guilty with the blood of something beautiful all over me I've been weak and leaking so much poison in all the rivers around me the fish are dying and the trees are vying for some light but I'm the eternal night Writing rhymes about wind chimes and world peace while even in my sleep I'm fighting wars that grind the enamel off my teeth and I wake with my jaw clenched and my body bent thinking how many dishes have I broken this week? in an attempt to not break myself by taking brutal belt to my hide cause it's hard to wanna survive when I know if Ghandi were alive he'd shoot me
and all the great therapists of this world might say 'girl maybe your anger is good maybe your rage is you emerging from the cage of everything you've been' So I try to be zen singing mantras of om mani padme hum
But God fears me too much to hear me and my heart beats another kid in the candy store and his mother calls the cops and every time the clock tics I start tic tic tic talking more shit my voice sounding the crucifixion of everything holy
I've got blisters on my tongue from pounding nails into hearts of prophets and just when I think I can stop it Satan resurrects inside me and everything around me turns to hell last night I stole pennies from a wishing well to buy rope to lynch the last inch of hope from the planet from the planet
And all because you have a new girlfriend and I can't stand it
and I know it doesn't make sense I know we decided to be just friends but I didn't think we'd be just friends forever I mean… I wanted to be eighty together wanted to birth poems like babies together and watch them grow up save the world Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
'Cause girl you're the only one who could ever raise the sun inside me and I swear the ground beneath my feet is only soft because you walk beside There were times I thought I was so lost even God would never find me and then you came up right behind me and kissed a cross onto my back
and it's things like that that got me going crazy 'cause I was thinking maybe the breaths we'd take together would make us live forever and now you're killing me
look at me i'm dying not even trying to evolve when I wanted to be there forty years from now when the doctor called to say your mother might not make it another day and I wasn't gonna be just ok I was gonna be perfect
Was gonna make my love feel like the first time you rode your bike without training wheels kneel before you every day like there was no one else before you 'Cause I've heard your heart beat like that breeze that could bring any violence to its knees and the best lines i've ever written I plagiarized every word from the thoughts of yours I heard while you were just sitting in silence Staring up at mars but you never wish on shooting stars you wish on the ones that have the courage to shine where they are
No matter how dark the night No matter how hard the fight and how now do I turn away from that light when I wanted to be eighty with you birth babies like poems with you and let them write themselves
I wanted to hold your heart to my ear like a sea-shell til I could hear the tides of every tear you've ever cried then build islands in the seas of your eyes so you'd see there's land to swim to hold your hand and say 'storms are born from the same sky we write hymns to when the sun shines' sometimes it takes tempests to wake rainbows that will wind our pain into halos Was gonna carve your name into my wrist so my pulse could kiss you Was gonna love you so well I'd wake every morning and tell you things like this… bliss is the moments you're with me when your gone my life hurts like hell but I'll do anything to make you happy even if it means setting you free to be with someone else
