lyrics

Air - dank breeze;
Our worn-down shoes on broken sidewalks,
Is it enough for you?
A couple green kisses but it isn't much.
I'm tired of this one-sided touch.

Late-night call and scrounged bus fare.
A colder wind and snow-filled hair.
Ten more minutes; three more blocks.
A knock and a door falling open.

I used to call you home but blood gets in your eyes.
My hands on my eyes...

I love these streets at night but I still carry a knife.
I can't be left alone but it's the only time that I don't have to live up to myself.

Straight upstairs; locked inside.
The window cracked; a smoke-filled sigh.
You take the time to dull your head while I sleep at the edge of the bed.

Running on secondhand smoke and blood gets in your eyes.

it's not uncommon
everyone has fallen
once or
twice
in their
life
in between
their dead lungs
smoking
and numb
fallen

(Blood gets in your eyes.)
