Lyrics
Summer, I painted a scene that lit the stars for me. Said, “I can erase it for you dear.” That summer created those words that came to life in three. They were denied by you. Summer I laid down below the glitter-adorned night. And silently sparkled my own way. Summer I laid down by you and shared my frail light. You gave the dark to me. I looked inside to find the one I sent away. I nearly froze when I stepped inside to find the flowers turned to gray. I closed my eyes and kissed them one last time. I wanted this excoriation. I thrive on this self-mutilation.
Summer a morning, so pale, alone when they found me. As I remained sleeping I heard them say, “This summer created a boy of abject misery.” He was designed by you. I looked inside to find the one I sent away. I nearly froze when I stepped inside to find the flowers turned to gray. I closed my eyes and kissed them one last time. I wanted this excoriation. I thrive on this self-mutilation.
