there's no box to tick for red, so i put down blue instead
'cuz it's closest there's to grey in the categories
and the veins within the whites are a statement of demise:
doe eyes, you should stay at home licking batteries
and i feel like i'm the host of a terrible game show
and the guests on today's quiz are celebrities
won't respond to any clues, they're just cracking jokes for views
and the answers to these questions mean everything

may she who casts the first fist of dirt across the casket
have mourners lick the mud from her fingernails
'tween the breadth of your armspan, i was a renaissance man
book of lies stacked either side, you were my carrell

a heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
that's why they call me the avocado, baby
a heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
that's why they call you the avocado, baby

and after all, god can keep my soul
england have my bones
but don't ever give me up
i could never get back up when the future starts so slow

no longing for the moonlight,
no longing for the sun
no longer will i curse the bad i've done
if there's a time when your feeling's gone, i wanna feel it

you loved me best in an airplane
i slept the length of the atlantic
when i awoke, we had landed
for days on end i thought about it

had we crashed into the ocean
had we perished in the sea
had the mountain held us captive in its jacket
well, god forbid, i'd've been fine with that
because it would saved me
yes, it would have saved me
it would have saved me from the look that you gave
when you left

your lips so full that i could cry out my sockets
your eyes so close that i could hide in the closet
my heart so poor that i could wait for your hands in my pockets
my heart so broke that i could beg for affection

i only have eyes for you
you are the apple
you are the apple
