Every Time I Die
Home Is Where You Hang Yourself
Sign my farewell with the chimes of clock radios
7a.m. sun reveals a failed cherubim
Dangling from the rafters like a sentimental ghost floating midway
Between the curse of the sky and you

This noose
Carries
What atrophied wings can't

Don't you want me
Disenchanted
A deader shade of sorry

Buried from the neck up in a slipknot
Dragging my feet through the dead air
Suspended a fallen chair length from the ground
When you found me

When they finally found me
This halo fit my throat

I am your contorted angel
Writhing at a loss for wings

Swelled tongues tell of brighter eyes
A severed spine of better days
Like the deafened clicks
Of a blue lipped off the beat pendulum
I just wanted to be something more than enough

Oh my God I don't think I'm breathing
Jesus Christ when did I stop breathing
Oh my God I can't hear myself breathing

This is all I know
Flying my eyes
Set on you like stains
In memory of romance
