(Verse 1)
You took the crimson note from my left ventricle
Suture threads swim in arteries your name like shards of ice
I kneel to wipe the starlight crushed by your high heels
Dusk seeps through my fingers staining the whole spring gray
(Pre-Chorus)
Painkillers build crystal churches on my tongue
Each pill engraved with the exact moment you left
I beg the void for the static from your hair
But receive a box of misaddressed decaying hormones
(Chorus)
The X-ray shows love lodged in the third intercostal space
Every breath pulls at shrapnel of unfulfilled vows
My mother wipes my festering eyes and whispers
Child your pupils rain the acid of 1998
(Verse 2)
You brewed my childhood daisies into cyanide
Said blooming was just the whim of a second hand
I swallow the candy wrapper kissed by your lipstick
Letting sweetness carve bloody epitaphs in my throat
(Bridge)
As the wedding gown blooms in the sterile ward
I water your leftover plants with chemo doses
The heart monitor traces the contour of your back
Every alarm a wedding invitation never sent
(Final Chorus)
You melted the ring into a bullet piercing my dawn
Time zones of sorrow hatch in the wound 24 crying zones
If the autopsy still reads overdose of love
Bury me in every moment your heels have struck
(Outro)
Your shadow forever stuck in my pupils' focus
Every blink a slow-motion replay of the world's end
