There is no one who treats me like you do
A silhouette in the shade
I felt your fingers sink into my chest
And spread like ivy to my neck
But the wires hugged too tight
As you whispered in my ear
"You are not alone
But I can take you there"
Jumping rope and picking daisies
Spilling blood and going crazy
Wrap your veins around my memories
Keep your fists inside your pocket
Lick your scrapes and swallow vomit
Tear your heart out from my locket
I have no light left in me
"My love"
Is what you screamed from the leaves in my ears
"I haven't left your fingertips
I haven't left your tears
I'm in every calming moment
In every blinding fear
Your view of me
Is what I see
From now forevermore.
So, grab your lungs
And taste your breath
As I hang you from the door"
Jumping rope and picking daisies
Spilling blood and going crazy
Wrap your veins around my memories
Keep your fists inside your pocket
Lick your scrapes and swallow vomit
Tear my heart out from your locket
I have no light left in me
My limbs are twice as heavy
Since I let you make a nest
Of every nook and cranny
And every somber mess
Your hands are rearranging
The gears inside my heart
Please venture back to nothing
I'll follow when you start
Jumping rope and picking daisies
Spilling blood and going crazy
Wrap your veins around my memories
Keep your fists inside your pocket
Lick your scrapes and swallow vomit
Tear my heart out
I have no light left in me
