hiroshima - thowless webb lyrics
[a section]
in an empty room upstairs an old quartz clock ticks again
my body sits on a sheetless bed, torn and slowly falling apart
surrounded by dark wood walls from the guts of a man only three minutes gone
the death of the man in my head, helps me see between her red and your white
4 am moonlight spills down through this room’s ceiling’s skylight
think back to last week when she dragged me over her words
the pain would be good if it was you, but it feels as if you’ve been gone for years
this nightmare is coming to an end
i’m tired of repeating fleeting thoughts i have
never again will i lie on this torn sheetless bed
[b section]
three melodies will collide
before my soul will be considered to qualify
waking up with crippling fear
my mind’s own version of a personal souvenir
a fourth one comes from the other side
[c section]
crusted tip strikes the matchbox’s side
i drop the match on the splinter filled the wooden floor
it starts so small it’s just a l!ck
running down into wet lines of gasoline
the parallel lines slowly combine
a complex weave of dry grey smoke
fills my lungs in the heat of the moment
fire on the mind, and ignorance on the tongue
i can feel the heat discomforting a worried heart
i walk over through the flames
to where she is on her knees, she looks up laughing, looks me in the eye
“what the f-ck did you think was gonna happen? what the f-ck did you think i did?
i didn’t do anything wrong but it was you, you are the reason we sit on fire burning to the ground”
i knew that but it was worth it cus you will be safe
“i’ll never be safe with you, because she’s in front of you.”
i look around just me and her
i realize my mistake and start to scream
every violent thought added up to a lie
a lie sits in red and white and starts to cry
i can’t help you surrounded by flames
my nightmare version is just you
i lie down on the floor next to you
look into your eyes wondering what i have done
flames crawl, never forget
we shriek as we become consumed
flames crawl, never forget
i reach out my hand and take yours
look into gold eyes for the last time as we watch hiroshima burn to the ground
