Candle wax eyes
Another body has burned; Sweet release.
I run so f*cking hot I struggle to breathe,
But I’ve changed so much!
Sweet release.
Rubbernecking the sun as they tell me that I’ve won.
Sweet release.
There’s purple in these eyes, staring at a neck every time I strum a line.
(Gasp) Sweet release.
But there’s nothing I’m afraid of (sweet release)
Like a candle dressed in white,
He greets each black stained fly that comes in every Sunday night; Sweet release.
