Elly saw me die and die again
as i saw her cryin' for her man
she wrote bad poetry in my arms and in my chest
and i wrote my heart and my lungs in her neck

Elly heard all the songs that i tried to sing
even though she didn't seem to mind
she draws messages of love and hate to me
pretending i can't stare at her eyes

play with me
when you're made of eyes
when you feel like velvet
when you get blind
smoke and silence
we can smoke in silence
nobody wants to know
what you need

shadowplayin' on the crowd
love to see her on stage
she can't stand the lights
spinning and dancing
she can't keep lookin'
to the same side
sick and drowining
shouting out loud
