lyrics

I'm hanging onto autumn, and letting go of summer
the temperature only gets colder, as my wits only grow shorter
Nights pent up in small apartments, where rent is cheap and our thoughts won't harm us
Chicago winter is just starting, but Detroit air is oh-so haunting.

My family's gathered around the table, twice this year and both for funerals
watching them blame trinity for all the bad luck they've recieved
Now it's in my time alone in cars, this thought runs through my bitter heart,
"what's the use in dressing up, when you'll never see my ugly mug again?"

The curse of cursing my own words, regret comes quick when morning turns, and things that I can't take back, are like a gift you cant re-wrap.
and yes, I can still taste the blood trickle out through my cracked gums, and out onto the tip of my tongue, this sentence stains like red wine does.
