Perihelion Songtext
von The Animal State

Bruises blush like skeleton leaves
Must have fallen in my sleep
Tempers stretched and systems crashed
I always lose myself like that
I′ve fallen in a Venus trap
Your acid burning up my skin
Scars are traced in porcelain cracks
Never thought I'd fall so deep

And I fell so far
And I fell so far

You shit a streak of fire
Across my cold dark skies
Streak of fire
Across my cold dark sky
Streak of fire
Across my cold dark sky
Streak of fire
Across my cold dark sky


We spent these bodies
Dishevelled bed and scattered dreams
It left me haunted
I never said it mattered to me
But you could taste it

You flew in under cover of night
Hair back like a river of ice
I saw you in the pale moonlight
Trailing ghosts of suicide
Victims of a terrible pact
Reaching for impossible dreams
I held my head in trembling hands
Never thought I′d fall like this

And I fell so far
And I fell so far

You shit a streak of fire
Across my cold dark skies
Streak of fire
Across my cold dark sky
Streak of fire
Across my cold dark sky
Streak of fire
Across my cold dark sky


We spent these bodies
With scattered heads and unmade dreams
You left me haunted
I never said it mattered to me
But you could taste it

I lost my head
I lost my head
I lost my head
I lost my head
I lost my head
I lost my head
I lost my head
