lyrics

Ambrosia
You were sweet like ambrosia
Catching your breath like a sparrow to a bread crumb
Flip
Another heroine archetypical subversion
And I thank my lucky stars
That I’m not a father yet
And we all fuck up sometimes
We think we just shouldn’t bother with it
We drank that ambrosia to the very last drop
Like it was coffee from a shop
There’s no way for me to explain
Why we did what we did
Now it’s up to me to fix it
Like a broken limb
Angels pass judgement till they fall from grace
A sweeter song than I could sing to see that face
Or that mass
What the fuck were we thinking?
Like an insect I burn burn burn
In the incandescence of your flame
(To the listener, the one who doesn’t know me,
this is a message)
Pry me open and peek inside
Pick apart the parts that you don’t care for
You and I went down the road and saw through
Now I burn your picture as the ashtray explodes
And where are you?
You and I went down the road
And we saw through everything
