When the Flies Fell

[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 the new boy in your hair when I left?
You seem 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, 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?)
When 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
