Bodiesinthewall - Phoxjaw

It’s the faces in the walls

They whisper over to me

But I can’t hear them anyway

Cause my ears are humming

From a 500w transistor

But it’s those sound waves that keep me from drowning myself in a bath tub

My body hung like festive lanterns

That were forgotten to be lit

And somebody’s frozen and still

Like a Choc Ice or dead mice

Or emperor penguins surviving the arctic

There’s a darkness down in Chinatown

Where the staggered streets and concrete frowns still

Still get me down

Don’t float off away

Tied ribbons just stay

If you float away

Our bodies let go

Somebody’s entombed underground

Like pharaohs with organs in clay pots

Tinted with gold but I’m digging holes, not my grave though

Cause I’m climbing out of these walls, these walls

Cause every time I reach my peak I’m face to face with an avalanche

There’s a darkness down in Chinatown

Where the staggered streets and concrete frowns still

Still get me down

Don’t float off away

Tied ribbons just stay

If you float away

Our bodies let go

Blood in the water

His eyes roll black

Halcyon pools of gore

Falling in front of it

All of these times crushing

Under a ten ton lorry

Cause I can’t pretend

How I feel about you anymore
