Mélancolia ‘Picking Scabs’ Lyrics:

vivid visions of a six inch wrist incision

send the text
1-800 dread
noises, [noises]
still people make noises
noises, [noises]
still people make noises
collected and sampled [studied the sorrow]
starving for zero
noises, [noises]
still people make noises
noises, [noises]
till they make me sick

i feel everything too much
but still connect the cuts
staining the silk until i am all but numb

the skin once vibrant
but the saturation seemed to fade
when i spill myself
i traced your name across my veins

blood junkie
ugly shame
collecting her stains
oh how depraved

rope burn neck tie
tell me did you feel alive?
rope burn neck tie
tell me did you see the signs? [see the signs]

[my shame]
my shame
[in my wounds]
i’ve got my veins in a cage
she dug her nails into my wounds
[oh the stain]
the stain
[on my soul]
she’s holding hands with the rope
i helped her lace around her throat

dancing through the red light
i’ve never felt so alive

fuck me dead
picking scabs off my innocence
noises, [noises]
still people make noises
noises, [noises]
still people make noises
send the text
1-800 dread
noises, [noises]
still people make noises
noises, [noises]
till they make me sick

send the text
1-800
dread
