Blue Murder

from Ribbons & Shards by Watchfires

/

lyrics

Drink ‘til the breath. Short inside your chest. Streams out in the evening.

Stains the air blue. Ire that courses through. The veins of each word.

When you wake this will be a memory you barely made.

This was made to come undone. Your bullets had my name on them before they left your gun. You curse the name of the hangman. Change your version of events still with scarlet hands.

You scream blue murder. Then dress and bind the wounds you leave. You scream blue murder. When it’s said and done, you’re really no worse than me.

Now you look like her. With a weight from your shoulders. The colour returns.

When Jekyll cries. Forget yesterday’s Hyde. And do this again.

When you wake this will be a memory you barely made.

You know you brought out the worst in me. At least the worst got out to breathe. Now it walks the chambers of each thought. And hides in every word I speak.
