Sun melts down early so There's quiet in the streets: Just somebody's stereo, Faint four-on-the-floor beats. The day got over fast, They seem to do that now... Not that there's much that needs to last. You ever wonder how Spiders plan so perfect all Those perfect little threads When people run right into walls And bruise their sorry heads? Vagueblogging at 1AM Subtweeting my crush again And I've been staying up all night With my head lost in stars, Watching shadows in my room Change with the passing cars. The only thing left that is bright 's one small orange LED. Feel like I'm stuck inside a tomb Might be a baobhan-sìth. 'Cause oh my goddess, got a thirst For human life; I am the worst I've been since chasing mountains Looking for the settled sea. Don't even know what it is like To be wanted. Heart's on a pike, Blood pouring out in fountains Thinking, "must be heavenly!" Feel like I should've been kissed by now; I've just turned twenty-five. I guess I'm madder they say this is how You know you've been alive.

Candles for the Cailleach-Bheur Been praying to Brìde lately. Guess I've just been spending air Crying for anyone who'll save me... I put so much armor on Just gonna sink that much faster, Bottom of the Acheron, Immortalized in alabaster. Fuck this, I tried playing the hero, Pennate figure, nimbus 'round my skull. It didn't help me face my fear, though. Just another sainthood to annul And now my skin's gone soft like rose gold. Bend me around your finger so You can say it's the world that grows cold When it's you who covered me in snow. There's too many patriarchs, And they're not gonna dethrone themselves, so I know faith's not very Marx... It might be time to get into spells, though. I was so strong But what's a giant when they're on their knees? It's been so long Is there even a heart between tits like these? I feel all wrong Who could look up to one so far down? Spent this whole song In tears with wolf's milk growing on my crown.

Take me as far away from home as possible. Late streets aglow with amber lights Off-white ones in the distance flicker; Valleys open, pouring unfamiliar sights Take me as far away from home as possible. Put some night driving music on. When they notice that we're not there, It will be too late because we'll be long gone. Goodbye, flat Midwestern landscapes, And please don't bother to write. No time for hugs, waves, and handshakes. They'd just be disguising spite.
