lyrics

he'd bleach his throat clean of all wrong
and hang it out to dry
said smoking helps to ease the pain
of knowing we'll all die

thickly bristled, bottled, fabled,
worried, frantic, gone
and what a fucking year it's been
now how do we go on?

skin burned off and torn up tissue,
muscles, fingers, bone
her reckless death seems so unreal
I've kept her number in my phone

thickly bristled, bottled, fabled,
worried, frantic, gone
and what a fucking year it's been
now how do we go on?

stars turn sharp to cut the sky,
like pain I've never felt
I know you hold these heavy thoughts,
I don't know how to help

thickly bristled, bottled, fabled,
worried, frantic, gone
and what a fucking year it's been
now how do we go on?

candle light to candle death
from memory to dust
don't dwell they say get back to normal
must I?- must- I must

waning light and waxen death
like scattered shining blades
there's no time like no time left
to not know what to say
