darkness. dilates. overlap. fall. violently. soleil.

i'm a lonely painter i live in a box of paints. no, no i can't be trusted driving out here alone with these thoughts 'cause my brakes are busted and the engine's shot. the heat serves to keep you soft so i can mold you and you won't crack but i don't know how to turn this thing off and i don't think i can take it back. life used to be life-like and now it's more like showbiz i wake up in the darkness and i don't have the will anymore to wonder. you come like seasons, shadowing my dreams. talking shit about a pretty sunset blanketing opinions that i'll probably regret soon. i've changed my mind so much i can't even trust it my mind changed me so much i can't even trust myself. i care less and less what people think i just want you to live up to the image of you i created i see you and i'm so unsatisfied i see you and i dialte. to call for hands of above to lean on wouldn't be good enough for me, no. i move in minor chords and fight this happiness. love hit me blind side, though i was right, never to risk my insight. i search your profile for a translation, i study the conversation like a map 'cause i know there is strength in the differences between us and i know there is comfort where we overlap.

like any hot-blooded woman i have simply wanted an object to crave. your breath a new addiction in my veins and i, struggle in my mind. i could lose myself here easily and that scares me. i could drink a case of you. when i say you sucked my brain out the english translation is i am in love with you and it is no fun but i don't use words like love 'cuz words like that don't matter but don't look so offended you know, you should be flattered. may be it's not you that i need may be just your picture is enough, may be you're as mine as you're ever going to be and may be that's all i need of love. i build each one of my days out of hope and i give that hope your name and i don't know you that well but it don't take much to tell. either you don't have the balls or you don't feel the same.

what you say? that you only meant well? well, of course you did. what you say? that it's all for the best? ah of course it is. what you say? that it's just what we need? ransom notes keep falling out your mouth. speak no feeling, no i don't believe you. you left a lovestain on my heart and you left a bloodstain on the ground. can't take my eyes off of you. can't take my mind off of you. we negociate with chaos for some sense of satisfaction. if you won't give it to me at least give me a better view.

what would you say to her in the second of silence when the choir hold its breath - how long do they hold this note...? trust you trust you not, wants you wants you not, forget you forget you not, needs you needs you not, trust you trust you not forget you forget you not wants you wants you not love you love you not...

you're in my blood like holy wine i could drink a case of you and i'd still be on my feet. the difference between you and me baby, is i get fucked up when i'm alone. dark and dangerous like a secret that gets whispered in a hush. you are shadowing my dreams.
