Perfume & Decay Lyrics by John Murry

the stars are god’s bullet holes.

2021

[Verse 1]
I lost when I played the hand
I was dealt with this wedding band
I said my vows, I'll take the stand
No one will fight for you anymore
That's all you ever wanted me for
Yeah mama I'm bleeding
You tell the world you're bleeding too
I see no reason to ever think of you
[Verse 2]
I barely recognize myself
Love is a wave of violent theft
The truth is not what I believed
Love is a lie that we created
And all of this living is just a series of mistakes
Who will hold me
When onе day I am drained of blood
Who will remembеr to place flowers
On my grave after this world explodes
[Verse 3]
You and I were perfume and decay
Bath salts and white linens on display
I've found better drugs now anyway
One day you'll regret everything
For now I'm just choking on what rock and roll did bring
See woman I've been bleeding
You took the knife and drove it through
I see no reason
To write another line about you
