lyrics

Her entire body was shaking like an empty maraca.
And now I can sing like a tree trunk splitting.
Her entire body was shaking like an empty maraca.
And now I can sing like a skyscraper crashing.

This one was a stillborn melody
This one was a lovesick harmony
This one was a place I thought I was just passing
And her entire body trembles like a windshield cracking.

Her entire body shakes like an empty maraca.
And her eardrums buzz like empty stereos.
Her entire body shakes like an empty maraca.
And her synapses fire like a million useless drones.

I think she tried to open her mouth to sing
And vomited one thousand broken wings
She’s a drug addled lie. She’s a one night fling.
And her entire body shakes like an airplane exploding.

This scene seems like a dying machine.
I’m a drop of water in a sea of bad dreams.
A stillborn melody caught in my throat
And a miscarried song on the stereo

What words slithered to your ears from her mouth?
I tell you what’s what. This feels like a million paper cuts.
Did she hold you tight? Did you scream all night?
Every kiss felt like a spider bite.

What words slithered to your ears from her mouth?
I tell you what’s what. This feels like a million paper cuts.
Did she hold you tight? Did you scream all night?
Every kiss feels like a spider bite.

How did it feel for you driving home?
My car’s engine sounds like rattling bones.
How did it feel alone in your room?
My walls feel like a bloody womb.

Yeah she can shake her hips like an empty maraca
She can move her lips like a fucking snake.
But your face, your race, and the way that you talk.
I kiss you you’re beautiful I want you to walk.

Her entire body was shaking like an empty maraca.
And her death knell sounds just like rattling bones.
Her entire body was shaking like an empty maraca.
And her sex spell sounds like a fucked up tone.

I think she tried to open her mouth to sing
And vomited one thousand broken wings
She’s a drug addled lie. She’s a one night fling.
And her entire body shakes like an airplane exploding.

This scene seems like a dying machine.
I’m a drop of water in a sea of bad dreams.
A stillborn melody was caught in my throat
I heard a miscarried song on the stereo

This scene seems like a dying machine.
Every single dream I’ve ever had in my life
Never felt as bad as what happened last night
Never felt as bad as—

That faceless name
I quit sleeping again
This is the last tone in the snapping of wings
Here’s a singer who’s forgotten how to sing

I’ve been lying to you
But I’m still counting on you for truth

This scene seems like a dying machine.
I’m a drop of water in a sea of bad dreams.
There’s a misplaced harmony caught in my throat
There’s an aborted song on the stereo

This scene seems like a dying machine.
Every single dream I’ve ever had in my life
Never felt as good as the rolling green
On the edge of fertile territory
