lyrics

The calligraphy of the amputee
Is a sketch of you holding me
July’s four thighs engaging eyes
Vacancies of dynamite
Lured you in I’ve got you whole
So you can feel me half alone
The other half’s an old has-been
An anti-hero Errol Flynn
Pretty things
The serenity of passivity
A horror like evil’s banality
Pretty things
An awkward square is on the floor
To touch a nerve so honestly
Pretty things ain’t me
The serenity of passivity
A horror like evil’s banality
Moons cocoons and Claire de Lune
Unrequited telling tune
Lured you in there’s nothing to hold
No hand to reach no want to hold
The other boy is still in me
An amputee’s calligraphy
Pretty things
When passion and kisses
No more
And oh no more is all that’s left
To once again second guess
The other boy is really me
Pretty things
