Parenthetical Girls - Of Collateral Damage (And Other Loose Ends) lyrics

Pinch your cheeks so flush with light
Leaves little dents so ill-defined
A finger bound in knots of twine
To ground the things that slip your mind

Pale your wrist stays, blue on white, to
(Skin stretched tight or dimly light where
Once it's smoldered bright enough)
Match the shapes beneath your eyes, you
(To catch your paper heart alight
Consumed in burning white I lost your)
Fake it through those trying times, and
(Letters in that fire and though
The memories of that touch, that cling the)
All that's left are laughtеr lines
(Weight of your self-intеrest passed
Between two bodies brush) ah, ah, ah, ah

Bless this mess
Your makeshift dress with the
Faintest smell of piss
(Pale your wrists stay, blue on white)
And just beneath the perfume on your neck
Is the faintest smell of death
(And pinch your cheeks 'neath sunken eyes)
You take your faith and circular reminders
That soon someday you'll rest
(Leaves little dents so ill-defined)
Elaborate fantasies of bloody knees
And empty providence
(A finger seen as looks designed)
You owe your life to promises forgotten
Makes the things you never kissed
(A finger bound in knots of twine)
In retrospect, it all seemed so so
Selfish, well fuck this, fuck this
Fuck this
(To ground the things that slip your mind)

Ah, ah, ah, ah
