Park Pomona For Empusa lyrics

Are we still connected or was it just a plot to get yourself off
And hope that I'm not listening when it happens?
She says I can't begin to say how sorry I am
I never meant for this to happen

The sun goes down, the knives come out
I'm on the island you left me on, such a sickening strip of sand
No lifeboats, no getting off, we give up, we give in without blinking
Jesus Christ, what was I thinking?

Oh, these lungs desperately filled by someone starving
And sad because you know your lover won't be back
All these words useless and absurd
Makes the harbor and the water sick

Shall I stay rejected or end up drunk
And soft like a bitter old man?

Sunk in his veins trying not to get caught
He says I know you didn't miss the sound that I made
It's simple and sad and easy to fake

The liquids down, the knives come out
I'll be there the night you go down
I understand the reasons for this awkward dance
I'd leave me too if I thought I had the slightest chance

I cry aloud to the sheets, they grip back tight
I fall asleep to the sound of my own life
If I drink this bottle fast enough
I might get lucky and not wake up
