the other way

you wanted so badly to believe

that you could touch the past you just can't leave

love 'em and grieve 'em

skin and suede

no point in killing if they can't feel the blade

 

look the other way or close your eyes

"kiss it goodbye"s

so infatuated with lies

 

keep on touching

breathing and blushing

 

people aren't the way you think they are

we were right about the fucking stars

 

the memory of violence in the streets

the memory of songs we used to sing

 

the shutter clicks and there's nothing to fix

 

you needed their love too, but heaven't don't need you!

 

it's true.

 

it's true!

 

clenched in my fist

listen to what i say

little distant cloud that just walks to other way.

 

"girl upstairs" in my headphones

til it ends… leave me the fuck alone
