home is where the fire is
deny the shadows where liars live
step into the room of vaulted ceilings and bolted doors
bodies beneath the floors

stretch the skin up over new bones
new pain to fill these empty homes
no name pills to destroy this life
collapse. rebuild. fulfilled. relapse.

perhaps new names would do us well
each and every strand, each and every cell
perhaps new names would do us well
this hypothetic home was built for two but my pathetic excuses obstruct the view

stretch the skin up over new bones
new pain to fill these empty homes
no name pills to destroy this life
collapse. rebuild. fulfilled. relapse.

the tongue is fresh and the vomit is blistering still
“fire at will” she says, “fire at will!”
i want your hands inside my open chest
just spare your heart and take what’s left
hypothetic intellectual theft

stretch the skin up over new bones
new pain to fill these empty homes
no name pills to destroy this life
collapse. rebuild. fulfilled. relapse.
