spirit house

By Deadlights

do u want this blue to live in
step into shower
pour blue paint over my head
walk around useless skin
slap fucking head 
against walls in kitchen
whos going to rent it then
too much screaming 
too much death
or do u want to live in this red
cut myself
wipe blood all over my forehead
something never to waste again
live love how Bathory did instead
bathtub in the blood of virgins
such beautiful skin
never waste again
leave the door room closed
let cigarettes can settle in
burnholes in the carpet
face hides inside of them
the door stays unopened
Y is hell is here
the door stays unopened
y is hell in here
and the door
i dont know what im saying
+i dont know how i am
angry before
sad again
y is hell is here
the door stays unopened
and i dont know where i am

    What a trip. Good stuff.
