Grinning Like A Slit Lyrics by Black Light Burns

The Moment You Realize You’re Going to Fall

2012

You can look to the mountain
You can talk to the dead
You can run to the city lights
But it's all in your head
You can look to a stranger
But all you'll find is a wall
You can wish all you want
But no one answers at all
Goodbyes
They are flies
The rise from shit
And I was skinning
A new beginning
While you were grinning like a slit
You can try not to cry out
As you wake in the night
You can stare at the blackness
But it's taken your sight
You imagine a face there
That you can almost touch
You can reach all you want
But it's only a crutch
Goodbyes
They are flies
The rise from shit
And I was skinning
A new beginning
While you were grinning like a slit
Where are you now?
Where is the crowd?
These sleeping streets
Are speaking aloud
And I couldn't recall
The feeling at all
The moment I realized
I was going to fall
