If You Need Me

from Ink by Apres Pompeii

lyrics

Linen swaying on the line, echoing the silent and sublime. All my days and all my time ripen like fruit upon the vine. I feel far too plump to pick. I think I’m rotting in your midst. The world it moves and over it I keel, I just can’t keep up with this clip. So I’ll be in the foyer pulling petals of my skin off with my teeth if you need me. Asphalt drinking in the sun, cicadas buzz into a hum and you can’t tell how long that I will take until my mind is done running, running, running, so you’ll be on the front porch sipping lavender milkshakes in the shade while you wait and I’ll be in the foyer pulling petals of my skin off with my teeth if you need me. You know better than to look. Bury your nose into your book. Hide your eyes while mine catch fire and I bide my time atop the pyre. So I’ll be in the backyard digging holes to spill my venom into and I’ll be in the basement hanging my devils from the rafters oh and I’ll be in my bed shaking my soul from out my body oh and I’ll be fitting silver dollars for my eyelids oh and you’ll be begging god to just let me enjoy the silence oh and I’ll be brushing burns into my cheeks with the carpet, I’ll be looking out the window wondering, aloud, ‘how do I stop this?’ oh and I’ll be in the foyer pulling petals of my skin off with my teeth if you need me.
