Letter to a Neon Specter

Lyrics

[Chorus: Melanie] Hey, you in the distance You smiled from my past Here's a song I wrote for you, and I'm all left to do Is feel when I sing it [Verse 1: Sadistik] My inscisors look like thirty-cals Falling from my face like razorblades out of Birdie's mouth Radiate rage, that's recurring doubts Rolling loud angels, made faces in purple clouds Purple rain, umbrella over burning grave Turned to flames, hell is when you serve the snakes Who's gonna tell 'em I got perfect aim? We can hang, leave 'em frayed when the hairs cross Why are you afraid of a fair god? Lost friends, in the end, it was their loss Amen, eight limbs, we can square off Muay Thai clinch turn a pinch to a bear-hug Octopus arms, each sentient None long enough to reach Heaven with, mutate Bleach in my eyes for the blue stains Creatures arise in my fugue state Disassociation is the new hate Long live the new flesh, death to the new faith Let them all leave when the leaves come Together, we're better off free from the weak ones We cut limbs off, add it to the dead space Rorschach inkblots, magic in the red stains Pain behind my eyes like plastic in cassette tapes Maybe I'm divine, couldn't match it on your best day [Chorus: Melanie] Hey, you in the distance You smiled from my past Here's a song I wrote for you, and I'm all left to do Is feel when I sing it [Bridge: Melanie] She speaks in staccato And she writes without rhyme I keep leaving love about and keeping myself out All that's left is to feel it [Verse 2: Sadistik] You can carve initials on my mannequin Issues of abandonment reel into a hiding place Wide-awake mind feeling like a fireplace Stain my skin with gold 'fore you peel it into bible pages I prayed but never read along Sacrifice the present for the presents in the epilogue Self-comparison, let's see who has the better scars Eyes are heavy until everything is letter-boxed Forever lost 'tween the gods and the never-nots Ardent in my haunted gardens, watching while the petals rot Heart is just some bonded-carbon audit of a lesser cause Electric shocks in my brain cause a mental block Level off, take a hit to lift the heavy thoughts Innocence amiss, I missed the gifts amidst the feathered flock Let that sink in, let it haunt you When I write, lights beaming from metacarpals Let me vibe, watching wavelengths in the sky move Keep that same energy alive when I find you Let me fly off to safe places and guide you Either way, enemies'll lie and despise you [Chorus: Melanie] Hey, you in the distance You smiled from my past Here's a song I wrote for you, and I'm all left to do Is feel when I sing it Hey, you in the distance You smiled from my past Here's a song I wrote for you, and I'm all left to do Is feel when I sing it
