Song of Healing

Did I pour you from a bottle?
Misquote you in the bible?
Would the God I know, consider those the same?
The bitterness has faded a little, but it's taking so long
In a solitary basement, I prayed for you to save him
Then got high enough to forget my name
I never found the savior when all the wrapping papers were gone

My phone is tapped
Wires are crossed
Hazard lights just won't turn off
A television flickers and whispers the weather
Today is cold, so cold
Your warm embrace

In the form of a sedative: Relinquish the day
Alarm clock is screaming
Goddamn you're hungover
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
There's no shame in grieving
(God knows I want to cry)
The slow decay of our plans
Is this evidence of madness?

I dive into rabbit holes where Alice just chose to get out
Recite my sad poetry through lipstick with a bittersweet voice
I let the mirror sing it back to me
His face is only apathy
Behind the glass, he bleeds with each word
I heard you sing from the garden

I love your face
Light in your eyes
Night in today
No lamp shade
No lamp shade
I love your face
Light in your eyes
Night in today
No lamp shade
No lamp shade
Your warm embrace

This doorway, this precipice, this means to escape
To a reverie of lavender and blood-red ambrosia
There's no way I'm leaving
I just need a change of scenery
