i remember feeding a tender gloom
locked the gray noise in a destroyed room
and i remember burning the walls of youth
walked the black hand with a cradled tooth
it’s leaking, all my friends are on the outside
they’re sleeping, all my friends are on the outside
a subtle pain sang as i grew tall
shaping the words from the sounds that i caught
saved every page, every photograph stare
then left all my things to the devil’s head
it’s leaking, all my friends are on the outside
they’re sleeping, all my friends are on the outside
and all the pain eventually dies
too soon
breaking the things you love in two
then i heard the dark pianos come through
a cloud you can understand carried me through
a recessed room where the air has died
setting a heart in a little brown bag
it’s leaking, all my friends are on the outside
they’re sleeping, all my friends are on the outside
and all the pain eventually dies
too soon
breaking the things you love in two
