Testo The First Eviction Notice

Testo The First Eviction Notice

a temple corroded

eviction pending

embrace me, cold night

gray sky, streetlight
lyrical descension

attention fading

breathless, i'm a mess

kissless, i'm in distress

i'm barely breathing



this crowning anguish

locked up nervous reflex

i've got to build up from the inside

a relapse, reflection

distorted, repression

smiling spitefully

longing for you to sew up my seams

i'm barely breathing



i've abandoned old identities

skin i couldn't fit into

songs i couldn't write

my voice will fade into this starless night



can i get much blinder

can i kick myself much harder

have i accepted this

to torture myself

you can't see me

have i invented you

i'm barely breathing

and you're so easy to beleive in

and it's so depressing

that i'm always second guessing myself
