lyrics

my name, you'll force it through your teeth
how does it taste on your tongue?
there are no words for me
i've been sleeping under sinks on tile floors
in a bathroom that wasn't yours
this is no poetry

this is a record for dying in summer
this is a song about dying alone
this is the moment you realize its over
these were the days that we called home

and i'm trying not to give a shit
but baby i'm not built for it
not built for it, not built for it
all my prayers are to porcelain gods
"we're all gonna die"
"yeah, please hold your applause

a spectrum of color
a spectrum of light
a spectrum of who i'm gonna be tonight
were they just stories
or am i burning?
come on burn with me
