Death Twirls Your Hair

Euphoria and hell, I see both each day
A product of spending youth in a tornado's haze
Now I'm tryna weather this storm, with umbrellas I didn't own before
Greenest world, with not a blade of grass to enjoy
I faced the white moon with the blackest of voids
Now I'm tryna catch thoughts as they spin and stick
Holding tight on the bar, afraid of losing grip

It's an unfamiliar entity
Plant my feet, light hitting leaves
And tryna catch my brain's brown from blocking out the green
But I exhale and the colors gleam

So I'll enjoy what exists, not from back then or what lies ahead
Cause death it lays on the bed
Twirling your hair like a childhood friend
So I could choose to numb out
Quiet the nerves, sedatives before bed
But death, it lays on the bed
Twirling your hair like a childhood friend
I'm no stranger to noise, it wails like an ambulance
Strapped above the wheels in hopes of a trance of bliss
The doubt, it imprints like taffy on my teeth
A vice with permanent stain and spreading like disease

It's a gemstone in a ship sunken
Plant my feet, throw my eyes to the sky
To fry the monster's skin that I'm stuck in

But I fall to my knees unafraid to cry

So I'll enjoy what exists, not from back then or what lies ahead
Cause death it lays on the bed
Twirling your hair like a childhood friend
So I could choose to numb out
Quiet the nerves, sedatives before bed
But death, it lays on the bed
Twirling your hair like a childhood friend

So if you see me distressed
Flip me over and run like the wind
The weight we carry turns thin
Greeting us all with a biting grin
Death, it lays on the bed
Twirling your hair like a childhood friend
Twirling your hair like a childhood friend
Twirling your hair like a childhood friend
