Grinning Like a Slit - Black Light Burns

You can look to the mountain

You can talk to the dead

You can run to the city lights

But it’s all in your head

You can look to a stranger

But all you’ll find is a wall

You can wish all you want

But no one answers at all

Goodbyes

They are flies

The rise from shit

And I was skinning

A new beginning

While you were grinning

Like a slit

You can try not to cry out

As you wake in the night

You can stare at the blackness

But it’s taken your sight

You imagine a face there

That you can almost touch

You can reach all you want

But it’s only a crutch

Goodbyes

They are flies

That rise from shit

And I was skinning

A new beginning

While you grinning

Like a slit

Where are you now?

Where is the crowd?

These sleeping streets

Are speaking aloud

And I couldn’t recall

The feeling at all

The moment I realized I was going to fall
