we were stuck under a storm on your roof, caving in into your home, when you left me in the elevator to crash into your ground floor on my own
i woke up to the sunshine burning holes into my skin
clean away the sin from all the darkness i let in
your rail gun in the sky, that is my god
i remain on the surface, full of bullets
i heard you say, "heaven in a place and you can go"
i looked up from the endless mass
i was alone
i phased beneath the surface into darkness and the darkness turned to stone
there's always a cage
heaven is a place and you can go
i woke up to your eyes, two pillars straight through my skull
when you make the call, i eclipse and withdraw
your rail gun in the sky, my constant cursed satellite
so, lovely, am i your cancer?
i saw my wholesomeness returned from the viscera in the depths of a tidal wave
but i couldn't hear your voice, i could only see your face and, for me, that changes everything
what was going on?
i could only see your face, i couldn't hear your voice and, for me, that changes everything
you said you'd call when you got home late
i waited for hours, didn't hear a thing
you said you'd call when you got home late
the last thing i wanted was to be awake
