_owls w teeth - _diphenhydramine lyrics

Loading...

1
there ain’t no ghosts as far as i can see
no vengeful spirits, just cadavers
but i hear footfalls wo reprieve
& swear some windows reflect backwards

pavement’s sl!ck, night’s a potpourri
of iridescent, starving eyes that
luminesce in between the trees;
all my neighbors, mere disguises…
pinky promise, i’ll try to believe
that the water is just water
i took a dose of diphenhydramine
spat from the lips of tethys’ daughter

2
they look like people but yo, i think they’re probably something else
& i dunno how or when
but i reckon they found me again

i won’t unlock the door unless i’m physically compelled
rations stacked in the pantry
water from the faucet should last me, i’m asking

how often does a mail truck circle ’round the block & back?
(while the) tension’s building, unyielding;
blood in my mouth is congealing

eatin supper front of sink, the f+cking mirror cracks
overhead goes the chopper, doppler clock
eyedropper whoppers, lights off

duct tape the curtains, solar lamp & i log in again+
spill the glow on the floor, i’m inured
to the shadow cast by the unplugged cord
electric choir, like a dream; a throng of angels, lapsed
disassociate high+key, psyche
absolved but in crisis, no light leaks

“do you like the red room?” always end up cl!cking yes+
there’s a peep from the deep end, a cretin;
siren song, louder, repeating…

3
a starless sky swallowed by the leaves
m+ffled footsteps trail behind me
there’s a van that’s parked down the street
& now it’s headlights before me, blinding

wide awake w sand in my t++th
gaping maws behind my eyelids
another dose of diphenhydramine
the nihilis crystallizes
