Cyst

The sun, laughing, comes pouring through Just how long was the night Pop the pill and scratch my skin There's no begin in sight Flowers they send make you feel so plain Kiss them back, but I know the risk Autumn rain won't get me clean After three seasons of hibernation sickness Is there a drug that makes you whole Cause all my holes just grow somewhere else instead There's a place for people just like me Purgatory wants me out of their hair I greeted death at the door The insurance will not cover this Flowers, petals, a raging storm Living life covered in cysts So I button silver on a fading vest The sun won't say hello today Death was fairly absolute But the door has closed too many other ways Is there a drug that makes you whole Cause all my holes just grow somewhere else instead Your taste in still in my mouth I guess that's why I feel in love with medicine
