lyrics

I am listening to the diegetic music
As I'm tightening my grasp around your fingers
And I'm unraveling the threads behind their tongues
As I'm wondering why I'm always who gets leaned on

Now I'm counting the bones left behind
By these red doves
And I'm feeling the ones inside my hands
Getting ripped out
As I watch my brother and I lie and say
That we hated you

I am listening to the words outside the windows
As I practice my guitar in public spaces
And I am frightening all the doctors and the nurses
With my cold, unfeeling judgment towards your life

Now I'm counting the bones left behind
By these red doves
And I'm feeling the ones inside my hands
Getting ripped out
As I watch my brother and I lie and say
That we hated you

I am dreaming in diegetic music
As I wake to hear that you're now less alone
And I am fettering the panels of this triptych
With the threat that loving you would just destroy me
