lyrics

Lyrics:

So, that cuss comes by and everything shakes,
"Ohio", in a hoorayed calm,
so quiet I can barely make it out.

And those same three "O's" in a souvenir bleed,
a buckeye in a violent hum,
just mouthing, "I'm so glad you're here at all".

That door pulls back, that freckle leans in,
in a whole smile, an areola hiss,
that areolied sable, it's the end, the end, the end and it's the end.

But I don't need it, that's the best about me,
a stay's stay to wish I'm gone,
I don't need you, that's the best about me,
a safe kill to hurt me some,
a safe kill to hurt me some.

That metal shine, that telluride flinch,
you kneeling over with the sun behind,
trying hard to see what face I was.

It's best if I don't know what I am,
a catcher catching flesh in rye,
a kinda cuss that holds you up.
