a song about the leaves and the sun Lyrics by ​elizabeth whitington

the warmth doesn’t return

0

Taking doghearted dogmatic descriptions of things that we're told are beautiful from birth
Candle wick melts off the fingertip, clock hand strikes midnight
Alone again, looking back at hell like it's a vacation spot
But oh
Why don't you go for a walk again?
What's a few years of depression in the face of a slightly interesting flower?
Oh! You need to get into sun again!
It's so sad to see you like this
But let's be honest, you're not helping your case
By making every song you write circle around the same themes
Self-harm, blood, and molestation
Cigarettes and chemical castration
The ever-present reminders of the people you let down
('It's a curious life', she thinks to herself as she floats down the night before she had said she would! Well, who's keeping score of all her lies at this point? Baby, you were not meant to be held like that, like a loved part of her that she would just hate to see turn into nothing but a tragic faggot sack of nerves and flesh! Do you think she'll remember you truly or just the shitty thing you didn't have to be but you were stuck as because of yourself?)
By now, you'd think I'd have chosen something a bit more bold to sing about on the third LP
(I'd like to be someone you could finally learn to love again)
(God, please let me close my eyes and when I open them this will all have been a horrible nightmare and I'm in a beautiful body I can love surrounded by people who genuinely love me and a lover that holds me like I'm falling apart and I fall asleep in her arms)
