Flowermouth (The Leech)

I have never felt as empty as I feel today

Even when the moment's beauty fades in and away

That's all it is, a moment

When the images creep back into the forefront of my brain

From picking up the pieces of unearthing devotion

Re-energizing dead feelings

I can see the flowers growing out of your mouth

While the cancer in your brain begs to get out

And I'll try to understand your pain again

By throwing my body on the fire, by accepting myself as the enemy

It doesn't take much to recognize that these leeches aren't my friends

And it gets harder when everything goes through a formula filter (your head)

Erase the ones I love the most so I can bleed in peace

So I can bleed in peace

Relieve the poison from my tongue

Embrace a reverie
