Story 16: burgundy

by Saarangutan

Burgundy, burgundy
Blood soaked in the bed
It's burgundy, burgundy

Burgundy, burgundy
Blood soaked in the bed
It's burgundy, burgundy

Her eyes on screens, fingers on scroll
We float, Dead Sea
I float away
No goal, no direction
I keep the bottle with me
Cause of the pressure
Keep reaching for bottles
Spare me the lecture
Keep reaching the bottom
But there's no message

Burgundy, burgundy
Blood soaked in the bed
It's burgundy, burgundy

Burgundy, burgundy
Blood soaked in the bed
It's burgundy, burgundy

Burgundy, burgundy
Blood soaked in the bed
It's burgundy, bur-

Her eyes on screens, fingers on scroll
She don't want us to be on someone else's scroll
I know that there's a lot I don't know
The tech pulls us apart and pushes out the poor

Burgundy, burgundy
Blood soaked in the bed
It's burgundy, burgundy

Burgundy, burgundy
Blood soaked in the bed
It's burgundy, burgundy

Eyes on screens, fingers on scroll
You didn't know me back when I was always cold
You met me when I was the shit and my ego growing
Makes sense that when I decide to leave, I keep going

Burgundy, burgundy
Blood soaked in the bed
It's burgundy, burgundy

And they told me boys don't cry
But writing these songs, those tears are goldmines

Burgundy, burgundy
Blood soaked in the bed
It's burgundy, burgundy

I don't make plans for the future
I plan for it to all fall apart
On hold in the present
Who would answer if I call tomorrow

Burgundy, burgundy
Burgundy, burgundy

Burgundy, burgundy
Blood soaked in the bed
It's burgundy, burgundy

Don't write about love, write about loss
Don't write about loss, write about costs
Of loving, at all
Who would answer if tomorrow I called?

Burgundy, burgundy
Burgundy, burgundy

Can't live in a coffin
You really died, I really lost him
I try and fail to replace that space so often
Burgundy, burgundy, cycles I'm caught in

Burgundy, burgundy
Blood soaked in the bed
It's burgundy, burgundy

For better or for worse
Love lost fuels the engine of the hearse
Love lasts longer than a verse
Love lives on through your words

Burgundy, burgundy
Blood soaked in the bed
It's burgundy, burgundy
