when the flies fell lyrics

[Verse 1]

I see the slashes on your legs and the smile on your face again

Blood is drying on your fingernails

Laughing at something that I said

Were you still sitting 'hind the stairs

With a new boy in your hair when I left

You seemed to recognize my face

But my hands feel like somebody else's

[Chorus]

I blanked last night when you told me

I blanked last night when you told me twice

I blanked last night when you told me

I blanked last night when you told me twice

[Verse 2]

You cut your hair off with a blade

Didn't want a single trace o' that poor girl

The water couldn't get you clean

So, you burned your skin instead with the curl

(You live in your hell)

I watched an angel cut the sky

Feathers plucked from flight

(Just to torture yourself)

And she sunk right through the ground from colossal heights

(Tell me what could I do)

She cried out for my name, I didn't hesitate

(The moment when the flies fell)

I screamed, "I cannot be your saint, I know you can't be saved"

[Chorus]

I blanked last night when you told me

I blanked last night when you told me twice

I blanked last night when you told me

I blanked last night when you told me twi-

I blanked last night when you told me

I blanked last night when you told me twice

I blanked last night when you told me

I blanked last night when you told me twice
