SUMMER'S CORPSE BREATH

Summer's corpse breath

Decaying like a useless cigarette

Preaching to the choir

She's a girl with devil's backbone

Unafraid

The deathless death

Summer's corpse breath

Unfolding like a poppy by the bed

Prancing in the crowd

He's a boy with flowers on his crown

Untainted

Innocent smile

Faceless travellers

Staring down the street

Waiting for entertainment

Doused in a cup of wild fantasy

Blood spatters, like

They wanna know some of that magic

They're holding guns in their hands

Retreating from their first defence

They say it's fun, it's harmless

Plead, or don't

Mouth rinsed in hot mess

Summer's corpse breath

Brewing in the town across the edge of land

Quenching in the drought

They amuse themselves with poets and the rest

Is passing

Faceless travellers

Staring down the street

Waiting for entertainment

Doused in a cup of wild fantasy

Blood spatters, like

They wanna know some of that magic

They're holding guns in their hands

Retreating from their first defence

They say it's fun, it's harmless

Plead, or don't

Mouth rinsed in hot mess

They're holding guns in their hands

They're killing sons without intent

They say it's fun, it's harmless

Plead, or don't

Mouth rinsed in hot mess
