lyrics

Ivan:
You don’t come out of suburban New Jersey
Unblemished by an opiate stain
Without drowning in the saccharine scent of death
Fermented in the smoke of the spoon

A black mold that creeps up the wall, snaking tendrils into our lungs
Nesting in corners that our eyes choose to avoid
Until the house comes crumbling down
And we’re standing with your blood on our hands

You needed us but we weren’t there for you
Pretending not to see what you were going through
But you found something else to soothe your hurt
And it felt better than whatever we were worth

Now you’re at rest and our absence can’t hurt you
And your daughters will never know their father
The abstract man in photographs and stories
And the blood of their hair and their eyes

You deserved so much better than the shot at life you got
We stigmatize the ones who need help so they die instead of getting it

You needed us but we weren’t there for you
Pretending not to see what you were going through
But you found something else to soothe your hurt
And it felt better than whatever we were worth
It felt better than whatever we were worth

Did you know this was the end and that no one would help you
When you were lying there, dying on the floor
Did you mean to end it all when you were only just beginning
Were you begging God for just one minute more

Dave:
A treacherous mountain drops, we push through the breeze and inhale sand. Parched lips, cracked on rock. So weary, we thirst. There must be shelter. There must be. A house. Home of water, littered with spoons. Abstract entrance lit by the moon. A tendril opens my mouth and forces down moldy water and demands company. It's time to go! Push him to the floor, past the children, make a break for the door. A house. Home of water, littered with spoons.
