lyrics

the sun shrivels the grass. the snow blankets the hillside. the bleeding heart blooms. i hope that you are still alive. you carried me for months on end in a basket made of human limbs, and we shared each breath of oxygen till our lungs were half full and our stomachs half fed. you never said goodbye. your car was the last thing that i saw, two glowing red tail lights, a cloud of black exhaust. now you're playing cards with severed heads, detached from the bodies of what used to be your friends and a crown of bramble bleeds your skin. i don't think i'll be seeing you again. we make promises we can't keep. reminded of each other by the rain, we stay dry, but still we can't sleep. and on cold nights, we have grown to need, but i've learned to use these two lungs to breathe on my own. we make promises that we can't keep. out of the rain, but we still can't sleep. on cold nights, we've grown to need, but i've learned to use my own lungs to breathe. i hope you're still alive. you never said goodbye.
