This Bullet

from The Whiskey On Your Lips by Halligan

/

lyrics

Well I couldn't kill you with my kindness.
That's far too cruel a way to go.
And these steady hands don't feel my blindness.
They speak a language we all know.

But you did me wrong.
A swift blow to where your necklace meets your breast and then the lights go down.
You did me wrong, now you're gone.

Acrimony she's my new lady.
I make her tea before we ride the bus.
And when we get into the sack at night,
I levitate with lovely lust.

But you did me wrong.
A swift blow to where your necklace meets your breast and then the lights go down.
You did me wrong, now you're gone.

Well, I love it how the walls will bleed. The walls will bleed.
And I won't be sad to watch you leave, to watch you leave
And I can't believe this truth:
That I carried this bullet for you.

I Collect Light Bulbs
LEDs
and flashlights.
I gather them and chain them together
across my ceiling
like tropical fruit. A tree of light.

Long ago I'd sit in darkness.
And with the push of a button,
Each lamp flickered on in
a righteous, white monsoon.

Now the light tree bleeds no more.
And I can’t regain that feeling
of monsoon.
