Teddy McGowan - Rotting Thoughts

I've seen my heartbeat
In a guitar
It didn't beat very hard
I've worn a headache
Like a crown of thorns
Dying never born
I've lived in my brother's wound
There wasn't very much room
No, there wasn't very much room
In my brother's wound
My legs are aching
Down in the bones
I am tired, let me go
My sleep is restless
My skin is hot
And there's something I forgot
Now there's blood on my pillowcase
And it's keeping me awake
Oh, the blood on my pillowcase
Is keeping me awake
'Cause I can't sleep in a blanket of my thoughts
And I can't dream when my heartbeat is a threat
So I'm lonely, with a vicious disposition
Shaking hands with all the feelings I regret
Shaking hands with all the feelings I can't forget
Where are you, darling
It's getting late
You've had sixty-five hundred days
What am I saying
I've got to wait
I just can't find a way
But there is someone in the haze
I just can't see her face
No, I can't see her face
So I'll have faith in the haze
But faith is fleeting in a whirlwind of thought
And I'm past the dark but haven't reached the dawn
So I'm waiting for a thing beyond my vision
Wishing I was doing something that I'm not
Missing all the wild feelings that I forgot
Looking over at the knots I haven't fought
Slipping down a crumbling cliff
Of rotting thoughts
