lyrics

Why Emily

Emily’s finger is on the trigger
she told herself tonight’s the night
her world ain’t getting any bigger
just the skin is getting tight

Ideas of who she should be
disappear when the room is dark
all that’s left is a broken body
all that’s left is an empty heart

Artificial inspiration
comes apart with every breath
she turns the shower on for steaming
steps into it fully dressed

Arbitrarily pointing
at the light bulb and a brush
aiming at yourself ain’t easy
but conversion never was

Oh the lies that she’s been breathing
rise as fast as they can fall
into a thousand sharp reflections
a bullet-hole in the bathroom wall

Armistice with salvation
settles on a quiet house
in the shower where the water
shows the skin beneath her blouse
