We Were Skeletons - Sewers lyrics

Our arms break to the rhythm of wolves' beating hearts Lives caught in their teeth, I can't leave The scene of the injury The nature of the crash has left me enthralled Don't leave, stay young I prayed and wrote to you And sent my letters down the storm drains in the streets So I just sit and sigh. Nothing left but a blank hope, blank heart Your nights are left burning in my throat Spinning in my head like a nightmare. Filled to the brim, waiting to spill out all over me Swimming in my own messy sweat, won't you come over and swim with me? Spitting lovers, spin and dance, in the car crash of their romance I spit and spin and dance and dream and burn and burst in my sleep. In my sleep, my head's still not left alone. Days are pa**ing, I've waited in line for too long Sure it was fun at first but now things are just useless And I'm starting to feel hatred, sedated Confused about these complications Of bypa** surgery, car-wrecked atrophy Speaking conservatively through lips locked And in these streets, my empty thoughts just aren't empty enough For me to want to stomach this whole, I just can't keep it down No I can't keep it down I'll just litter these streets in the trash that I vomit From my scum s**ing head And you'll laugh when you realize I cared My heart capsizes and sinks to the floor Falls to the sewers with the thoughts from before And if I can get out of this mess I'll take some time to clean up
