~lyrics~
If you went missing
I wouldn't need the cops to find you
I'll swim to islands
And periscope my hands to see you
Even though we know where you had disappeared to
Could I come with you?

Now what did I do to deserve 
All these voices inside of my head?
The less that they say now that's better
But I'm shipwrecked now

Whatchu mean by simple?
Your eyes are deep they complicate you
In a long lost tunnel
Your love is dark it terror blinds us
But don't be cynical
Cool it baby it's not that important

Now the way that you said it 
Is kind of like waking the dead
So cruel and heartless
And then my blood runs cold

So I said it in a message in a bottle
And I buried it with my hands
Have you staining my head
Sometimes I dig it up for comfort
Then I smoke a cigarette instead
Have you staining my head

It's the way you said it
The way you said it
The way you said it
The way you said it
The way you said it
The way you said it
The way you said it
The way you said it

Now what did I do to deserve 
All these voices inside of my head?
The less that they say now that's better
Baby I am shipwrecked now

Since you went missing
I wouldn't use the modern means to find you
If you caught me slipping
It's only cuz I dream about you
Love

Ciggie Rainy

We were all tangled limbs and unsettled teeth
All set to shake loose if either one should speak
Our lips had stains from each others blood
As we leaked, like sieves, from a thousand small cuts
Lets untie these knots and unlock these chains
And unstitch the threads that run through our veins

I see my face in your eyes, twin mirrors soaking wet 
You'd think that I'd have drowned by now but there's life in me yet
You see I've found me a formula, the effects are guaranteed
Cheap whiskey, plus self loathing, are really all you need
Because my hands have started shaking, oh they're frail autumn leaves
And my feet keep sinking as the ground closes over me

So I replaced my heart with driftwood, and my bones with rusty chains
Red wine long gone to vinegar, is running thorugh my veins
My guts have become wet sand, oh they're gritty and they're cold
My heads become a landfill, all garbage and mold
But then  I knit it all together, with old ribbons tied in knots
and I dug myself a shallow grave, so you can leave me there 
Leave me there to rot

Please dont see this as a cry for help or an admission of shame
You see I turned that grave into a deep deep well where I can wring out all my pain
And when its lapping at edges, and its splashing over the sides
The last thing, I'm entertaining, are thoughts of suicide
Because without this pain I'm nothing, Oh I'm just a hollow husk and shell
And if you wanna get to heaven, they say you gotta go through hell

Tangled Limbs
