slow it down
November 15, 2012
I feel a filth in my bones
wash off my hands till' its gone
the walls they're closing in
with velvet curtains
some love was made for the lights
some kiss your cheek and goodnight
lift up your red high heel
lock up your doors with steel
They're making noise in my streets
my blinds are drown I can't see
smashed in my car window
didn't touch the stereo
slow it down
come back
rest your arms
rest your head
