Blue velvet / Golden suede / A masterpiece the Lord hand-made / The X and X: heavensent
/ Roman roads: straight (not bent) / A piece of my heavy heart dies / Closed lids
leak spectral light / Maybe I might gouge out my eyes / Stitch up tear ducts / Cause
boys don’t fucking cry / Street lights decide my fate / Goodnight, sweet prince /
Providence / God’s fingertips / My heart said, “Think head! Just stay asleep in bed” /
Spare me the soul-smashing / Heart-bashing agony / The brilliant, bright blue / Blissful
bloom of ecstasy / I’m never going to sleep tonight / Someone else will hold you tight /
Maybe I just might / End this aching ocular blight / Handle gripped with all my might / A
screwdriver to end my sight / Now I’m alright
