dead june

By cut dagger cut

i'm spilling my blood onto this canvas
i'm using my wrists to paint a portrait for you
i'm hanging my heart from a tree
but i'm still stabbing my way through
murder for love
a butterfly for a gun
bullet for her lung
suicide for a love...

in this spotlight
ruined moments are forever
i hope i'm dying somewhere
apologies are such a bore

such a waste of time

my spilled blood dries to what you'll see
a portrait of a dying tree
blood is soaking into the leaves
and all that you've done to me

and now every fucking june
will remind me of you
and how i wished i could've killed you
because your poison was beauty
and i was nothing

every fucking june
