Landfill Heart

The chewed-up aftertaste of cheap resentment,
Plastic junk gets stuck deep inside.
Someone else's broken hopes are shattered here,
And I hand them out to random enemies.
A battered cassette player, empty bottles,
Ticket stubs to a faded movie screening.
All the laws are breaking inside my head,
And this is probably our only chance.

Припев
Junkyard heart, a filthy shelter!
Where old dolls sing out of pain.
Take this garbage, blow up this warehouse,
I will never look back again!
Junkyard heart, broken porcelain,
Our shortest and angriest conversation.


Soaked playing cards, a torn passport,
The ink leaked out onto the wet grass.
I thought memory was a reliable band-aid,
But I'm just living inside this memory.
Wires stick out of ripped fabric,
Screens of other people's broken phones.
We were just drowning in a cheap glass
Under the screams of angry old crows.


Set it on fire!
Smash it down!
Break these walls!
There is nothing left here but a dirty winter.
And this is all that we will ever be!

Припев
Junkyard heart, a filthy shelter!
Where old dolls sing out of pain.
Take this garbage, blow up this warehouse,
I will never look back again!
Junkyard heart, broken porcelain,
Our shortest and angriest conversation.


Just garbage...
Just junk...
Leave it there.
Forget my address.
