lyrics

the captured queen
and the book she was reading
what would've been different if we
made our futures less of a priority
were the pages stacked too high
for your porcelain skylines
it's like you were reading my mind
because you
you're always too cold
even with your shades on
you're like a tragic outlaw
waiting to meet his bounty
I guess your heart's still beating
though I'll bet it's freezing
with your legs glued to the ceiling
as your eyes roll back
an evening gown
I try to keep my eyes down
the will to raise my eyebrows
like smokestacks on campgrounds
but this is no recess
I watch him drop your green dress
black hearts and wet tongues
will leave spots on your lungs
a full on regression
or wild imagination
walking by your apartment
you know you really shouldn't
leave your window open
not even in the moment
or don't leave your light on
or close your fucking curtains
revealing his silhouette and yours colliding
