well i often think about her when the night comes and i m hugging the road and i know i ll never trace her i can barely begin to place her chronologically just a flurry of white dresses and second guesses now less is much more to me if i really think about it it s all i ever think about my landlord has been shooting bullets into paper birds heh when he s drunk he s immaculate especially before noon what i m trying to do with these paper birds is to find a better way to bleed one that s more accurate and i ll practice my aim and i ll master my game and i ll know my song well before it leaves my lips when the lady finished crying i knew i had to say something to comfort her but all i ve learned from love is that what you love can be what destroys you love s just a flower fading congratulating your vanity s champion it s the blood i want to shed before i m old or even dead it s the blood i want to shed before i m old or even dead it s the blood i want to shed before i m old or even dead it s the blood i want to shed before i m old my landlord has been shooting bullets into paper birds and he s the last of a dying breed the pharmacist with wings what i m trying to do with these paper birds is to find a better way to bleed one that s more accurate and i ll take these targets that i hit they can go on my refrigerator for all my friends to see your ivory caught your salt white warm your swollen kiss your absent strength your mothwing bite your paper birds your lonely boy your soft machine your gaze of grief your twelve degrees your grieving moon your red dipped wings your underworld you re different from no one beside your speaking bones your absent strength your sleeping pale your almond trees your woman s sex your special days your grand valise your mom s not home your body plays your rise and set your mothwing bite your lonely boy your soft machine your swollen kiss your paper birds you re different from no one besides
