lyrics

standing in a hotel shower
awake at some ungodly hour
the site of some ungodly act
the beast with one too many backs

my blood was red against the tile
far away horses went wild
threw a girl upon her back
saved her from a heart attack

to tell the truth I only slipped
gave blood i didn’t mean to give
almost dying can save your life
almost living can make you
realize
the garbage trucks know yr name
they breathe yr breath you are the same
other people fill you up
with things they couldn’t learn to love

on the floor of this icy room
(hell is white I never knew)
i watch my body point to you
the only north my compass knew

and I wonder clean at last
how you know that you’re so sad
how you know so much is wrong
why you will not trust a song

dear skies of blue and grey
get the hell out of my way
dear pretty girls who pray
i will hurt you
go away

dear staying in bed all day
i don’t love you, go away
dear girls who drink all day
you will hurt me,
please stay

dear birds in tampa bay
how do you make it through your day
dear suicides and strays
i think i love you anyway
