lyrics

keep a blue stripe for my blue eyes.
like some painter's tape, please stay in my lines.
and my own strife, a black hair tie
tied around my wrist, keeps me out of my sight

and I ate shit on the pavement
after a night I thought was well spent.
so meet me in the gallery,
because my sore eyes are a sight to see.

and you're probably not ignoring this, you're probably just asleep,
but I just wanted to call and tell you that it meant everything to me.
and I know that it's not healthy using people as a crutch,
but there will always be those days when I need some help standing up.
the same goes for building shelters out of someone's skin and bones.
I know that people are not made of doors and windows, but mine don't seem to close
and maybe you're still stealing glances while I'm staring at the ground,
and we're both still searching pockets in coat checks and lost and founds.

and I'll carry this torch until I burn my house down.
