lyrics

Hell is frozen
And this house doesn’t feel like home anymore
Can’t get no shut eye without shuttin’ the door
Should I be stressed over the man
The deaf man in my doorstep
Singing me to sleep
He is known for stealing anything that appears to be cheap
But I don’t mind it’s one less thing for me to keep

The rugs I slept on kept me warmer than the summer holidays
The songs we sang in different tongues made us laugh loud like children
Who do not fear the torrential rain
They strip their cloths and dive into the red mud sea
And make a fool out of me

Death is but an arrow stopped
In mid-flight it tumbles
To the ground
With a pierced apple that took the bullseye
Instead of your life
Your hair whips back in the red
Dress I expected you to be wearing
And the skin that would not match your attire

Your breath
It pushes me away and
Pulls me close on inhale
So I believe
It keeps me alive in some sick and twisted way

Jiminy is now speakin, listen close
Wipe your tears but know he’s scripted
And you’re paying
