Die In The Summertime

Scratch my leg with a rusty nail

Sadly it heals

Color my hair but the dye grows out

I can't seem to stay a fixed ideal

Childhood pictures redeem

Clean and so serene

See myself without ruining lines

Whole days throwing sticks into streams

I have crawled so far sideways

I recognize dim traces of creation

I wanna die, die in the summertime

I wanna die

The hole in my life even stains the soil

My heart shrinks to barely a pulse

A tiny animal curled into a quarter circle

If you really care wash the feet of a beggar

I have crawled so far sideways

I recognize dim traces of creation

I wanna die, die in the summertime

I wanna die

I have crawled so far sideways

I recognize dim traces of creation

I wanna die, die in the summertime

I wanna die
