Le Ville Verte

Darkness, darkness
Fading by the light of this unknown planet
You're in orbit, but it's not my season, babe
Heavenly bodyscapes caress what my eyes don't see
You're on the horizon
Your flesh is the winter to my sticky summer heat
You're in season, but I'm inside today

Let me be
Just let me be alone tonight
My lips are sore and cracked
My fever is contagious, no need
Just let me be alone

Morning's coming, but I shut my eyes
No need for me to see the light this time
I'll lie here unmoving
Listen to me breathe and know
Today's not the day for me to try

I need to be with you right now
You're gone, and I'm lost
I see reflections when you're gone

This imperfection leaves my eyelids heavy
How did I end up here
It's a darkness that's unfamiliar
Thick and unmoving
Stars in another universe pick their way through the scabs
Bleeding

Discomfort in the hole where nothing can be
Empty in a place where everything fits
What I wouldn't give for a trip right now

White walls sit in my corner
And I stare
I haven't a home anymore, it seems
Will you survive without me?

I'm gone right now
Gone for the time being
Wandering
Everything leads out to this
Nothing leads back to where I thought
Mazes, mazes
No fire to light my way
No shadow to pretty up the bland

Heavier, stretched out
You still reach out to touch
Not now

Darkness, darkness
I see through to nothing
Light wouldn't make a difference here
Nothing to see

Fruit is rotting
Seeds decay
And I die with it all
