Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can't hide from Orion
[Verse 2]
He's bright and mad and I'm too drunk to walk straight
I'll just end up like lion
Roaring weak while he beats stars into my mane
Until all I see is black
[Verse 3]
I flipped a coin in the kitchen
She started crying when she saw it was tails
She said, I guess it means that I'm moving
Bones rolled through the bird on her wrist like wind through a veil
[Verse 4]
Hoo
You better not look
Back
'Cause all you'll see
Is black
[Verse 5]
Where do you think you'll be going?
I mumbled quietly through my chipped front teeth
But I don't think she could hear me
For the screech of passing trains and all the sobbing
[Verse 6]
She dropped her hands from her face
I saw her bird fall how light bends
Then I thought of Orion
And if he could fall how her bird did then
[Verse 7]
Would he bleed out like prisms?
All cut up and colorful
A constellation with a crack in his skull
A constellation with a crack in his skull
She said
[Verse 8]
Cool
Better not sleep
Like that
'Cause all you'll see
Is black, uh, uh
