Standing on the Shore (in Wintertime) and Saluting the Half Frozen Sea
from Gazzatum (Final Salvo): Born to Run by Ero Guro
lyrics
Discoloration in my touch
Like my teeth touched by smoke
The rain that I brush off
I've been branching out
Isn't that enough?
When mother calls I'm lying through my teeth
I think it's starting to get to me
Bring me to my knees
Will you remember?
I haven't slept in weeks
I think it's starting to get to me
Bring me to my knees
Will you remember me
After I've made it and
I'm carrying a clipboard
Instead of this bracelet?
Like a guillotine
Glancing at each patient on the way to my cell
She feels eyes crawling after her like semen crawling towards her
On their bellies, excited tails wagging like dogs and leaving a trail like slugs
And they burst apart and they duplicate
They riot, they retaliate
She makes her way towards me to cure me
And take out my belly ache
And stick a bowl of cherries in it's place
But will this new organ take?
Will this new organ take?
Or will I come apart like a wedding cake?
My barber had a bad day, he was rough with the buzz
And now this ringing is weapons grade
Next time I'll stick my head inside a fish tank
And let the piranhas have their way
My father taught me it's ok
To be flawed
But I've eroded
Too far
The charm is wearing off
I was born to run
So I ran off
Like my father,
Signing off
Like my teeth touched by smoke
The rain that I brush off
I've been branching out
Isn't that enough?
When mother calls I'm lying through my teeth
I think it's starting to get to me
Bring me to my knees
Will you remember?
I haven't slept in weeks
I think it's starting to get to me
Bring me to my knees
Will you remember me
After I've made it and
I'm carrying a clipboard
Instead of this bracelet?
Like a guillotine
Glancing at each patient on the way to my cell
She feels eyes crawling after her like semen crawling towards her
On their bellies, excited tails wagging like dogs and leaving a trail like slugs
And they burst apart and they duplicate
They riot, they retaliate
She makes her way towards me to cure me
And take out my belly ache
And stick a bowl of cherries in it's place
But will this new organ take?
Will this new organ take?
Or will I come apart like a wedding cake?
My barber had a bad day, he was rough with the buzz
And now this ringing is weapons grade
Next time I'll stick my head inside a fish tank
And let the piranhas have their way
My father taught me it's ok
To be flawed
But I've eroded
Too far
The charm is wearing off
I was born to run
So I ran off
Like my father,
Signing off
