nepenthe  

capo 1st chord formations:

    CHORUS

     she is my nepenthe, my neplusultra love

     she is my serenity, the dust beneath my rug

she sings this melancholy melody it ought to be a felony

the way that she can take a simple song and see the somberness

in every note

this world is poison with a sycophantic grin that sucks me in

if i begin but they cant win, she’s my phantasmagoric focus

she’s my antidote

CHORUS

sometimes I hide inside my gloomy little room and draw cartoons

and random sketches of the wretches who I’m talking to and stalking when I

walk the street

she is the only other person so immersed and so well versed in all the verses and the curses, and philosophies I like she makes me feel

complete

CHORUS

she is the vision of precision my decision

to pursue her pure allure was not a thought that took a lot of time or trying

for me to make

a silent diamond in the island of the violent

bits of ash that smash and thrash until they bash each other one too many times and

then they break
