i feel my hold on the ground / take me under / take me down / … / we are delusional / poor animal / i am not your savior / save me please

your glancing cracks your skin / clear lights on dirty bulbs / dirty bulbs / your pants fall to the ground / they're filled with guilty rocks / guilty rocks

six. No Barrier Fun - Liars
underground i've heard the footsteps of a girl / those sounds were close to paradise / i tied up my ears and i borrowed some shades / take a trip upstairs for the footstep girl / i want to make it up / i want to make my skin adapt to the sun / no barrier fun

her lips parted wide / but there was no sound / saliva running down them / her mouth might buy / while at the same time / her dress fell to the floor / and her feet go underground

i see two blackbirds in the yard / they are paired together / they are feeding / they are flying / they are fucking
