Filling Bottomless Holes

The Oedipus Complex · Grey Skies Bruising [2014]

Throw a stone from the highest signal tower

Fell fast as a bullet

Caught the cast right in my forehead

Had to smirk right through it



Waiting on the shadow of a sundial

To strike at noon

Took a deep breath of the salty aroma

When it filled up my room



The pictures of you I had all turned red

All the shame we shared I threw it back up

Now decide if it was ever worth it

Take a good long look back at the world you loved



Is this luck or are we lost

Is this luck or are we lost

Is this luck or are we lost



Lay down inside your guilt ridden mind

Where you packed your panics and made your bed to rest

Such an awfully lucky suicide

Had to smirk right through it



Is this luck or are we lost

Is this luck or are we lost

Is this luck or are we lost



Blame it on the chemicals like the blind

So you can feel superior and in control

Such an easy target to latch onto

Hope you like filling bottomless holes



Is this luck or are we lost

Is this luck or are we lost

Is this luck or are we lost

Is this luck or are we lost

Is this luck or are we lost

Is this luck or are we lost

I never said I knew

I never said I knew

I never said I knew
