Rooted (Rotted)

from Muted Damp by Thundercloud Kid

lyrics

These roots are deep and these roots spread wide -
everything to excess, like some kind of self-inflicted punishment.
I keep your words in my ribcage sometimes.

A diamond and a bat on the twelfth fret.
Your edges are faded and your strings are rust and faded.
I dread these thoughts of you and us, each smell and each touch bleeds colors from the cuts.

The waves that crash on the shores of your mind pull you to sea, one grain at a time.
We orbit the same body, but on different planes in different songs.
I don't turn the page for hours on end because every line gets stuck in my head.
We all break at some point and then rebuild ourselves to do it again.

rock & roll art. this is your cue to turn on your heel,
and never look back.
this play button will only break your heart
and steal the light from your eyes.
its a key and you wont like whats on the other side of the door:
elegant lies, but lies all the same,
its not worth all the side effects
or the amount of sleep youll lose.
because this is just bad news,
and it will leave you in the gutter.
