Tannika Pacts


You are bound to see yourself in the surface waters that you cannot help but test distorting reflection reflections get sick of being unfit visage exists to be fixed
Whereupon moral of the story is that you'll never be enough
To a world that wants to hurt you but won't ever let you give it up
Pain wouldn't be much of a teacher
If it didn't leave a little scar
I wait for you to finish smoking
And for you climb back into the car
You could get a city job in London
Become who you will be for good
They want to thank you for the bleeding
They don't want to see the blood
And you would let the city kill you
Before we ever thought to make a move
Eek out your place, you claim
The change you're waiting for ain't coming soon

Success is to revenge is as
Reverence is to medicine
As downing diet coke and niquil is to quietening your head again
You said the holes in the wall were purposeful and permanent
There to remind you that some things are determined

Sitting blitzing a quick fix for the bliss in the distance
Are you taking the hurt and then turning it inward
And Omission is A mission to begin to instance myself
I am A vision of beauty
I am A picture of health
I am And a joke about death
The punch line that I forget
But it begins with a sickness and you write the rest
And the city'll kill you
And the party will kill you
And he building will kill you
And the people will kill you

and I'm glad
And might might make right right now but I doubt it
Wait, add some sum of weight, weigh it way down
I want to want what's best but for real I don't see it
Somewhere far off the guard dogs all call in agreement
I still feel everything I used to
Feelings don't seem like they're mine
I get this crazy little idea
That everything is going to be alright
The shadow climbs the buildings height
The dirt is first I meet the night
So foot to ground, ground to dust
You get into my clean cuts swell up swell up

You'd like to play some day
The fading southern belle you say
I'll be your stranger stranger stranger
In my torn skin where it's safer
I will shrink and split down to a whisper
Men they came to gut my home
In my torn skin swells the comet
In the morning milky smoke

But I have known for my whole life, now I've told you so it's alright
but you said "Myles if you cry 'wolf' one more fucking time it'll see you right"

I have no skin, I have no skin, I cannot take another hit from them
I have known for my whole life, now I've told you so it's alright
but you said "Myles if you cry 'wolf' one more fucking time it'll see you right
