The Engine of a Film

You are no kin to me so I will have your silence

I'm drawing blood with a safety pin
Fields of poppies have taken root under my skin

I've pulled apart every ounce of breath like the threads from my favorite shirt
Reciting stories like trace amounts of drugs in my hair

I'm getting ever closer to my last cigarette
You bargained with forever and that's what you get
My breathing has come easy; I'm dancing with the flames
They used to call me Devil but then I lost my name

What in the hell happened to this town

The Engine of a Film
The fine game of nil
Is not so easy to unveil

Terrify the children so they do what they're told

Our happily ever after can begin when with the first break
We're on top of the world, and we're all vicious as fuck

You will not believe me but we've all lost our fucking minds
The spells are so damn easy
Dreams can come true with some heat and the wink from a needles eye

The engine of a film
We are on top of the world
The engine is humming
Shut up
This is my favorite part
