throat
But if you're fixed on being bitAno5ter
Go be bitter on your own
We're still two hours from El Paso
ArizonaDno5 's such a long way to go
The chemicals were coursing through our bloodstreams at incongruous rates
I was time-traveling inward through a past life I can never erase
You were hanging out the window, you said: 'We're just a beggar's banquet in space'
You were laughing at the moon, you were cursing it for wearing your face
