Effervescent Horrors

You carried me softly back to bed and I Didn't even have to ask Played with my hair and kissed my head Showing me what I wanted You opened up your mind to me like slipping sand Falling through your fingers and the cracks in your hands Laying down a beach for me to be caught up in your current Swept away by your breeze Your hearts too big And it's killing you Is there some trick to this? Oh it's killing you It makes me sick Like twisting veins in two Your hearts too big And it's killing me too Your hearts too big You drove me back home through the melting snow With your hand on my leg and I didn't want to go Thawing out my blood that I forever froze Fucking with my head I swear this thorn must have a rose But you say all the right things to the point of disbelief Effervescent horrors cracking smiles out of grief Radiating softness, distracting me from Winters sharpened edges with the promise of the leaves Your hearts too big And it's killing you Is there some trick to this? Oh it's killing you It makes me sick Like twisting veins in two Your hearts too big And it's killing me too Your hearts too big You picked up all my pieces up off the floor Puzzled me back together softer than I was before Smoothed out all my edges, dripped through the cracks With your disarming presence creeping closer to collapse And I tried my best to stop it pushing your sweet lips away Gnarled hearts compounded steeping my head in decay You filled me up with shivers, peeled tendons to the bone My skin disintegrated, live inside me call it home
