Prometheus Lyrics

Stained glasses windows stare back at me with malnourished discontent

The words I spoke had wrought dispute and malicious attempts into our flimsy paradise

My tongue is a parasite, it never stopped spitting as I you slid you hand down the right hand of the wheel to bring us into oncoming traffic

I watched you blink and hesitation, and proceed with the evening as you had planned it

Our future is volatile and delicate, ruined by our histories commandment

I see wildflowers grow within the veins of my wrists

I tear my eyes away and place a hand on the handle, I wrongly thought that dying alongside you would be romantic

Don’t let the ghosties win, you said with a solitary and arrogant tear falling down your cheek, your blatant sarcasm and in genuine emotional response hit me like mace

I make a half hearted retort about you being the dust in my joints and you evaporate into a volcanic depression

I haven’t felt my eyes smile in weeks,

And you don’t remember the last time you saw stars.

You suggest we both just need to notice more.

Maybe you’re right

Or maybe the futility of trying to control my emotion is my sysiphean mission laid on by my vanity

I feel my body dragged under by the shackles of my cortex

I entertain the thought that the secret to life is to take the most enjoyable choices

What Did You Care?

Smile at strangers, read books in bed

Distract yourself from you never said

Love with strength and love with abandon

Do every single thing your heart commands you

Smoke the cigarettes you want but take care of your chest,

Only accept love from those who you surprise you best

You can still pray softly, even if you don’t believe

Never underestimate what hope can achieve

Never look back on what you’ve done

And never let your thoughts add to the chamber of a gun
