Your Touch Versus Death

by Will Oldham

eyes of celibates
burning images
worn down rotted lies
lips dried peeling
eyes separate our lives
dead underneath your skin
this blood's not mine you fucking whore
you don't deserve my Gods
you're a deified angel
you leave me sickened in prayer
it's the residing disease in me that sheds it's halos for whores
it leaves my wrists cut with jaded tongues
your eyes (your eyes)
freeze my (your eyes freeze my)
fire (your eyes my fire)
of innocence
whores addictions
souls salvation (I said it I'm so tired so)
please bury me
they broke my wings in an attempt to
divide a sickness
from comfort
of open wounds
wide eyed I died
wide eyed I died
wide eyed I died
