lyrics by vex.

vile love

i feed salt to the old spinning compass
and rock sleep to the creak of the sea
i would sing lullabies to my vile love
but my love's the one waiting for me
i cannot recognize my regrets
and i don't give a damn for my sorrow-

to the end of earth
in the bones that ache
at the ocean's floor
in a broken mirror
on a biting breeze
rattling dead men's teeth
cities gone to dust
i'm still standing here


i call out to the mean constellations
they throw lightning and hail down on me
there is nothing but salt in the galley
so i kill everything that i eat
there was never a man in this body
if there is, he's just waiting to drown-

to the end of earth
in the bones that ache
at the ocean's floor
in a broken mirror
on a biting breeze
rattling dead men's teeth
cities gone to dust
i'm still standing here
