A Day of Nights

All your sympathy's gone Onto needles and pins And the scratch on your cheek When the dye is cast red Pillars melted to wood Shallow breath that you held Fevered threat in the ground Razored memories expelled Clouds are red above you The rain has stolen a goodbye From me, it seems A moon's white iris rings a bell And shadows head home for a while To dream, and scream And every want you ever met Just never melted into flesh But pools of gone today And all the promises have left Except the one to try again A fire against the sky Just look right in and take a step The mold is made the dye cast red Give away to waste And all those times the seasons bind I'm running down a fevered threat Bright against the sky All your sympathy's gone Onto needles and pins And the scratch on your cheek When the dye is cast red Pillars melted to wood Shallow breath that you held Fevered threat in the ground Home ward memories expound All the fevering pitch When you 're breath is run raw And the song of the strays In the scratch on your cheek And all the times the seasons bind I'm running down Frozen in time Pushing up doors Crawling through space Never leaves of fragrant face And all the times the seasons bind I'm running down Frozen in time Pushing up doors For the end of time The seasons bind the seasons bind

Every time i think of pushing you down the stairs I lick My lips But don't be upset, it's the only way that i know how To show you that i really care I lie to you every chance that i get And i make it just close enough to the truth That you go for it every time But don't misunderstand I leave fingerprints outside of your window In the shapes of positive messages I've got a present for you It's made from pieces of my skin Trailing slices of pale light Thread and needle closing in Raking window from the pane And ready to commit Sway back through gray beams of slate On fingers cold and thin

In a tiny little cave A dog is sleeping on his back Iron chains around his leg But he's purring loud enough to snap I see blood around his snout A smile that's bigger than his mouth They come to hurt him every day To stomp him back into a crouch They will never quite cut through Cause he's got a little piece of you The time gets longer every day But he sits there smiling in his cave They will never quite cut through we've have a little piece of you And all the spite you ever spate betrays your monument to fate Fall asleep and dream. Salt in your skin That leaves a small scar It sits there in time A red shiny star Salt in your skin That leaves a small scar It sits there murdering time A red shiny star Shadow sweet in your bones Helps to know what you said The hand on your skin Brings a war to your face Fall asleep and dream now Windows are made in your sighs The piece you had hid to hide The cave walls high in your mind Fall asleep and dream now Your heart is ready to die Your jaws open wide Windows are made in your mind

I watch the hands move across your face If i were only big Moving slow The longest race The sharpest teeth sink And i can't move and i can't see The needle clicks through all that lace And when the first leaf starts to shake And make it's way to shield the ground Diamonds fall over your face Know that i'd give every drop of hate Just to see your trembling hands Wave goodbye again I remember all those sounds I used to make So fake and loud To cover things i should have learned The deepest hum that you engage This dark red river down my drain And all the sons that take your place They all, fall, down Read your dream

She walked Her head hung down Watching her feet Move on their own Restless hands Grasped at things No one else could see Dark circles watched Her eyes grow wide Guardians of her gaze The high red flush Of something wrong Stained the hills of her face Midsummer blazed Her rotting cage Death took his hat off At her grave Scarecrows drape the colored page marking giant mistakes Getting stronger in pain of These special things All wrapped in plain All wrapped in plain No one saw Pale shoulders shake Passed over for Shiner things Brighter birds With bigger wings Took up all of the cracks Nothing left for the faint This poisoned mouse With paws on stars Mottled gray fur Ignored She quickly dreams of fall Where brighter flowers dive And bend Quicksand's Right hand Weighs in Low weathers Greatest friend Wet breath in shallow lungs That drown Her hands Like doves Scarecrows drape The colored page Gaping selfish mistakes Grinning wider each day Growing stronger in pains Of these special things All wrapped up in plain An imbeciles glory day Spitting coins at the fade Of these special things Twilight final soft claim All wrapped up in plain All wrapped up in plain These special things

Skyscrapers left in shade The numbers add up to your chest Nightmares cling to strange walls The sun will see you now -- it's the next day Speaking through squares Hiding faces strange and bright Arrest near your neck before You can hear leaves breathe Just listen Just listen Stolen trees cemented in A quiet place where plymouths ring Curtains fall and bruises form But you can hear leaves Breathe if you just listen Little wings play down the street Our faces squeezed in glass and tin Inanimate objects snatch at your skin But you can hear leaves breathe if you just listen One hand on your neck While the other fumbles through Broken exchanges in back rooms You thin sin Wave oceans aside I made space in my night Resolved to turn it into lines Your fingers must get tired And drones make you wild Why don't you wear Your sleepless smile Pointed at me for awhile Smoke around the giants neck That makes the clouds turn red Tell me where have you been A day where clouds Turn to fray Wings of smoke Down the street Where your sleepless smile runs Skyscrapers left in shade The numbers eye your throat Snatching skin and thin skin No streets unclean no sheets unclean No smiles makes you crazy It's in your lines The sleepless snatching thin skin seas There is no sheets unclean No smiles no night why All crashing screams the sheets [Wave oceans aside] Unclean you make me grave it's in your own design [I made space in my night] Wave oceans aside I made space in my night Snatching skin and thin skin No streets unclean no sheets Unclean no smiles Makes you wild You're on no streets Unclean no sheets Unclean and smiles at Wave oceans aside I made space in my night night Now you own the sleepless snatching thin skin seas

I chipped my tooth I have a windows in my skull Wrapped up in explosive glass The voices sing beneath Bellow I've never seen it unravel So fast in such small hands The secrets stick down in your throat The crimes that make the time go fast I slip out of this place The glass cuts through my scabs Its never been so mean to know It all has to come out It all has to come out My mouth is full of blood I hang on to every word Little claws down in my neck I've never seen a sky so blue My mouth is full of blood But i saved some i or you All my copper glasses rusted This is not the end of the last word I programmed it And i'm bleeding through My vein has got the best of me And all my proper wrist Hanging on disgrace I hear the footsteps Creeping on the stairs below Wrapped up in explosive glass Voices sing beneath below I programmed it This can't be every thing i've saved My mouth is full of blood And i saved some for you All your copper glass has rusted This just can't be all that i have made I save some for you But i'm not enough And all the time has been the end And this just can't be all that i have saved And i programmed it My glass is broken And i slip out on the stairs
