lyrics

tried to love the cracks in the window
but i couldn't fix my teeth
and it's too dark to see what's eating me alive

grin the moon from your mouth
and give each phase back to night
leave your shirt and your clarinet by the door

and let me peel the apples from your arms
let me carve maroon in the sky
coz every closet song that you sing
grows with sunflowers from my eyes

and when we go back to coney island
our names will still be in the dock
coz every haircut song that you sing
haunts me from the hallway clock

'so let's go back to bed!'

there's a break in the clouds
over to the northwest
and still the seeds in my lungs try to grow

sing the birds from my arms
and migrate back to me again
close the drawers and turn on the light

coz as the light breaks, i remain still
and the ferris wheel stays dead on the shore
and is that you with your flashlight?
coz i'm not alone here
no, i'm not alone

and as my body joins the earth
your feet will walk my path
and as the waves rise past your ears, i'll sing this song

James is going to die soon
by Crywank

supported by 17 fans who also own “plaid shirts and opened drawers part two”

This album is one of my favorite albums because of how raw and pure it sounds. The true emotion that comes from Jay's performance is more than believable and it's what helps Crywank stick as a proper musical icon. 10/10 would recommend to everyone if they were more than willing to give it a try. saintjimmy57
