when the flies fell - Sub Urban
Lyrics by:Sub Urban
I see the slashes on your legs
And the smile on your face again
Blood is drying on your fingernails
Laughing at something that I said
Were you still sitting 'hind the stairs
With the new boy in your hair when I left
You seem to recognize my face
But my hands feel like somebody else's
I blanked last night when you told me
I blanked last night when you told me twice
I blanked last night when you told me
I blanked last night when you told me twice
You cut your hair off with a blade
Didn't want a single trace that poor girl
The water couldn't get you clean
So you burned your skin instead with the curl
You live in your hell
I watched an angel cut the sky
Feathers plucked from flight
Just to torture yourself
And she sunk right through the ground
From colossal heights
Tell me what could I do
When she cried out for my name
I didn't hesitate
The moment when the flies fell
I screamed "I cannot be your saint
I know you can't be saved"
I blanked last night when you told me
I blanked last night when you told me twice
I blanked last night when you told me
I blanked last night when you told me twi-
I blanked last night when you told me
I blanked last night when you told me twice
I blanked last night when you told me
I blanked last night when you told me twice
