​when the flies fell

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I see the slashes on your legs And the smile on your face again Blood is drying on your fingernails Laughing at something that I said Were you still sitting 'hind the stairs With the new boy in your hair when I left? You seem to recognize my face But my hands feel like somebody else's [Chorus] I blanked last night when you told me I blanked last night when you told me twice I blanked last night when you told me I blanked last night when you told me twice [Verse 2] You cut your hair off with a blade Didn't want a single trace, that poor girl The water couldn't get you clean So you burned your skin instead with the curl (You live in your hell) I watched an angel cut the sky Feathers plucked from flight (Just to torture yourself) And she sunk right through the ground From colossal heights (Tell me, what could I do?) When she cried out for my name I didn't hesitate (The moment when the flies fell) I screamed, "I cannot be your saint I know you can't be saved" [Chorus] I blanked last night when you told me I blanked last night when you told me twice I blanked last night when you told me I blanked last night when you told me twi— I blanked last night when you told me I blanked last night when you told me twice I blanked last night when you told me I blanked last night when you told me twice
