Perennial

Veins die and I fantasize to find hurt another way
My baseline, I take time in the middle

The bile fills the leech
I hear them talking in their sleep
A vessel to the ether sea
The varicose encasing me

Why can't they see the lights are
Synchronizing into the shadows underneath?
Why can't they see the lights are synchronizing?
I feel them change velocities

Draw slow when you take from me, I need time
It's just I can't suffer, honestly, the taste of chemicals keep me alive
I feel the pain through a surrogate
The brittle bones of a middle child
They call a state of emergency to get me back to my baseline

And it hurts a little
And I lie a little in my refuge

Veins die and I fantasize to find hurt another way
My baseline, I take time in the middle

There must be something more out there
There must be something more out there
So powerless in the cross-hairs
There must be something more out there

Veins die and I fantasize to find hurt another way
My baseline, I take time in the middle
You said the pain was perennial, I need hurt another way
My baseline, I take time in the middle

Oh, you make it hurt a little
And l lie a little
Oh, you make it hurt a little in my refuge
You make it hurt a little
And l lie a little
Oh, you make it hurt a little in my refuge

There must be something more out there
There must be something more out there
