Guess who died and no one gave a fuck Put your scales upon my heart and I would open up Blooming furnace flowers on my sleeve Bleed yr astral patterns on my sheets Pray for sadder stars / Forget you have a heart Guess I'm gonna be okay Digital days before the brain But time can't hurt you now, the murky gospel hounds Guess who died and no one opened up Breathe your love inside my lungs and you would just erupt You are not me and I know it's true You are not me and I am not you You're being born again / Except you have no friends Guess I'm gonna be okay Digital days before the brain

Grief Thief 03:24
Said you loved yr cats but you filled yr head with bats can't be left alone when something's real You loved her more than then but the devil's yr only friend you are nothing more than books to me You wanted everything and more And all those things outside your door The universe is dead but the words are in your head tell me something I would want to be It's all within me now Don't ask the witches how Come in closer take a look at me

Smoothed out and spinning yr heart was made of clay You'll paint yr graveyard with diamonds and malaise Came from the ocean but didn't make a sound It wouldn't help you when yr feet touched the ground Ooh, my baby, set fires from stern to bow She said the skin was too tight around her mouth The door was open but you didn't come around You won't see me when you come back to town I wanted to be there Set fires in your hair You know the door was open If you don't come back now the world will be broken Just like the river that flows into the sea There is a river that flows inside of "me" You paint yr starship but I won't be around Some are lucky, others are born to frown

I am the ocean You want no part of me You would be beastly and you'd jump into the sea (that's not me) Adapt all your flowers Throw them on top of me Bury me under all of the cans in the street (I would sink) When you walk all the time, I won't mind You could knock on my door I am the ocean Please stop ignoring me Bury me under all of your words and your deeds (reptile reach) The cosmos are bleeding I won't stop loving you When you are lonely remember I'm vast and I am blue When you walk all the time, I won't mind You could knock on my door anytime I would love to spend a day without you You remind me I'm good Ignore the shore
