-Flicker-

Look at the sky and her blue blue eyes,
wonder how they got so grey
That one wears her heart around he neck
You'll wonder, but you won't say

-Flicker-

Those ribbons and bows circle his neck and hands
and his mommy and his daddy
Tie them through his head

-Flicker-

Her silver charms dangle off her wrist,
count them (1...2...3...)
The first is her mother, the second her lover,
the last is one she hasn't got to meet.

-Flicker-

This boy doesn't miss them,
[Thats a lie]
(He's really {not} better off)
But he keeps his chains on the inside
Because then, he doesn't have a reason to cry.

-Flicker-

And what of me? You?

-Flicker-

Your soul?

-Flicker-

Your fire?

-Flicker-

How long will it take until

-Flicker-

You

-Flicker-

Die

-Flicker-

Out
