|
We stank of hair dye and ammonia. |
|
We sealed ourselves away from view. |
|
You were looking at the void and sat unblinking. |
|
The best that i could do was to train my eyes on you. |
|
We scaled the hidden hills beneath the surface, |
|
Scraped our fingers bloody on the stones. |
|
And built our little house that we could live in |
|
Out of dinu lapatti's bones. |
|
We kept our friends at bay all summer long. |
|
Treated the days as if they'd kill us if they could. |
|
Ringing out the hours like blood drenched bed sheets |
|
To keep winter time at bay but december showed up anyway. |
|
There was no money it was money that you wanted. |
|
I went downtown, sold off most of what i owned. |
|
And we raised a tower to broadcast all our dark dreams |
|
From dinu lapatti's bones. |
