about

A music video is in the works.

lyrics

She paints her face with a brush dipped in kerosene
and sprays her neck with bottles of liquids that smell like
a time bomb's fuse ablaze
a time bomb that doesn't tell time
quite right.

cigarette smoke and ashes rise up to the atmosphere
the very ozone she's protecting
now has a lot to fear
and if she's nothing but some chemicals held in by skin and bones
then someday she'll have to explode


Close your eyes
Jump and dive
the camera slows down
to half the time
close your eyes and plug your ears
there's nothing here
there's nothing to fear


Tick tick tock
the clock goes by
faster than she can close her eyes
seems like it suddenly all went awry

crash crash crash
she split in half
and gave her strength to another day
it was all a waste

she wished on herself for just one final day
to laugh in the field where she used to play
one more smile to return one more hand she could hold
and someone to kiss all the wounds she had grown

but instead she curled up in the fetal position
she was drug down
down by her knees
down to the depths of deep blue sea


Close your eyes
Jump and dive
the camera slows down
to half the time
close your eyes and plug your ears
there's nothing here
there's nothing to fear

Close your eyes
Jump and dive
the camera slows down
to half the time
close your eyes and plug your ears
there's nothing here
there's nothing to fear
