The Sweet Revenge

Burning Pictures
The last time I heard your voice I was screening all my calls I try to match your message to a face I can't recall It's been so long since I've seen the barren walls outside my room And I remember every second that I spent forgetting everyone I knew White pills and nicotine send tremors down my spine I see things moving in the corners of my eyes And there's nothing on the radio but shit I've never heard Still desperate for distraction I pretend I'm singing every single word I'm burning pictures because it's best if I forget Black smoke and blistered skin are all that I have left Blurry faces of my friends form rank and file in empty frames Two more weeks of medication and I won't even know their names Each time I strike a match a face goes up in smoke Red flames light my path the further down I go I trip and fall through empty halls where doors open and shut While reactions of the passers by reflect how they could give a fuck and I'm burning pictures because it's best if I forget Black smoke and blistered skin are all that I have left Blurry faces of my friends form rank and file in empty frames Two more years of education and I won't even know their names Aus Songtexte Mania
