lyrics

Go Grim Rotor

This primitive song will break your soul tonight
The fairy is gone and her body collapsed
You sit and cry as lights go out in mirrors
Whatever vistas she might find, you’ll be there

Let strangers explore your chameleon skin, let them bite your tongue
What’s wrong with being a whore when you're an orphaned twin with your needs unsung
You've terminated all the traces of that fateful embrace
But still the trauma ate the sun and exploded in your face

A blueprint for happiness
A shadow of empathy
Did you cancel her requests?
Did you fail to keep her near?
The stream of Lethe flows away
Brace yourself, it’s time to leave

You choke on love mixed with betrayal
You reap the benefits of guilt
So greet the night with a hopeless prayer
And a handful of black pills

So you approach the greatest height of all with no safety net, Chekov’s Gun in hand
Eviction roaches decorate the walls, such a graceless end, exactly how you planned it
All sound outside is Satan’s bark now that fireworks fizzled out
The neighbor lady tells her son: «That’s how denial ends in blood»

Into the night, slide freely
The rotors ceased to hum
You're out, out, out
