just wanna see you, see you bleed

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

i'm crawling to your tombstone and licking the salt from the tears

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

do you sleep with a smile can you sense my spirit dying trickling and leaking and seeping as an open wound

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

i cut you open wide a flash a streak a smear a hot pang of regret a flush of blood and fleeting pride

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

i miss the dead and their dry whispering voices

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

is it raining now where you are

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

best to keep your plans honest

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

breaking necks like vows

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

the wind carries part of me away and i become fragile ash

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

you are a scorpion in my boot

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

the rule is there is no saving

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

infecting my wounds and sewing them shut sticking my hands down burrows in the desert taunting the crows in the vacant sky by waking beneath

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

i follow flies and lies

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

the rats are nibbling away and the ghosts are gnashing their worn down molars and the screams of the damned are whispering to me now

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

the veil between worlds is tattered

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

i find the magic in disappearing the kind where you don't come back and no one and no thing will know you were ever here at all

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

to call it a magic trick you have to bring it back after you make it disappear

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

i walk with a curse

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

no time for tears

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

my bloodshot swollen eyes and i cannot smell the water now i wipe the dust from my face and watch the lakes dry up in the burning of my mind

[magpie @wontmisstwice]

when i close my eyes i can almost feel the waters where i was born i can almost smell the minerals and iron ore i can almost fill my lungs
