  • Unraveling, unrolled, a siren in the night
    I love the jaundice of your skin
    Its perverse plasticity
    You make me want to smoke cigarettes
    You make me want to drink whiskey

    Even if your love was unconditional
    Even if your love was unconditional
    Even if your love was unconditional
    It still wouldn't be enough to save me
    It still wouldn't be enough to save me

    My sycophant love song
    My authentic desperation
    I'm addicted to the feeling
    The only kind of steady I believe in
    Prison cell exercises
    Solitary sport entertainment
    What makes you think
    You're going to die any different?

    Even if your love was unconditional
    Even if your love was unconditional
    Even if your love was unconditional
    It still wouldn't be enough to save me
    It still wouldn't be enough to save me

    Even if your love was unconditional
    Even if your love was unconditional
    It still wouldn't save me
    It still wouldn't save me

    Don't worry young suicides
    The vultures will pick your bones dry
    Half digested and eternal
    Somewhere lost in the ephemeral
    Welcome to the future
    An always ice-cold nightmare
    Burnt coffee and Percocet's
    This night too will end

    Even if your love was unconditional
    Even if your love was unconditional
    Even if your love was unconditional
    It still wouldn't be enough to save me
    It still wouldn't be enough to save me

    Even if your love was unconditional
    Even if your love was unconditional
    Even if your love was unconditional
    It still wouldn't be enough to save me

    Even if your love was unconditional
    Even if your love was unconditional
    Even if your love was unconditional
    It still wouldn't be enough to save me
    It still wouldn't be enough to save me
    It still wouldn't be enough to save me
    It still wouldn't be enough to save me Writer/s: Laura Jane Grace Gabel
