lyrics

From pulsating fruit comes the juice
and your spit
sweetens the most bitter of tastes.
When you touch me,
goosebumps rise from my frozen flesh
and each hair stands with anticipation
while we writhe in summer rain.

It’s night.
The only light that guides our hands,
our shitty phone screens.
We can’t see the rain but we feel it
like we feel each other,
with intensity.
Although we can’t see each other,
we know each other.

Sort of.

I kneel with the worms
in the wet forest on the edge of society,
hoping you’re not an axe wielding maniac.
I’ve no clue what I’m doing.

The woods seem to be where all bodies wind up,
in blowjobs and in death.
It’s the only place to hook up,
definitely not safe
but nowhere is safe if you’re gay here.
A sick thrill to this small existence though,
that we live for a moment.
We take all the hatred and dick
and then die.
There’s no forward thought
because the future doesn’t exist.

There is nothing for me here;
but there is dick.

You came
then I left.
