When the flies fell Songtext

von Sub Urban

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 a new boy in your hair when I left
You seemed to recognize my face
But my hands feel like somebody else's

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

You cut your hair off with a blade
Didn't want a single trace o' 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 (You live in your hell)
Feathers plucked from flight (Just to torture yourself)
And she sunk right through the ground
From colossal heights (Tell me what could I do)
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"

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
