blisters - serpentwithfeet

Concrete has hurried itself into bloom

The mice have forgiven our greed

Still you won’t kneel to kiss me

My lips the only source of water for miles, miles

Where’s your concern, concern?

No love or gum between us, us

My concerne

The same dew that falls from my mouth

And cause the hairs on my chin to trill

Could nourish you, could sustain you

Kiss me, or go

Kiss me, or go

Pretend the floors cracking in the shape of our names

It’s not a big deal

Pretend the dying flowers growing towards us

It’s not a big deal

Pretend me loving you

It’s not a big deal

Go

As your lips curl at the smell of sweetness in this room

(Keep tying your shoes)

You should know the world outside my door has tightened it’s womb for you

Help me say the darkness of the leaves has come

Forgiveness has not forgive not

(tell him one more time)

The darkness of leaves has come

(Has come)

Forgiveness has not forgive not

The darkness of the leaves has come

(You could’ve been soft with me)

Forgiveness has not forgive not

(But now, the trees have grown tired)

The darkness of leaves has come

Forgiveness has not forgive not

(What am I gonna do with you, what am I gonna do with you? With you?)

The darkness of leaves has come

Forgiveness has not forgive not

(Forgiven it)

The darkness of the leaves has come

(The darkness of the leaves has come)

Forgiveness has not forgive not

(You would not get small with me, you would not kneel for me, you would not

kiss me)

The darkness of the leaves has come

(Darkness of the leaves has come)

Forgiveness has not forgive not

(Darkness of leaves has come, oh)

The darkness of leaves has come

(Forgiveness has not)

Forgiveness has not forgive not

(Watch the world get smart for you, watch the leaves get black for you)
