I burn 400 degrees in a gasoline sea.

dorky girl gives herself a moniker, pretends to sing and play guitar, makes some songs, makes a fool of herself. it's about love. seriously. she does this for the love.

Story behind the song

too many photographs with blue isosceles looming above.

Lyrics

you're one of those girls who likes
triangles in the sky
who spends the whole night running
in attempt to kill the light
never will there be another
who smothers the dawn so well
inhuming it in an coffin
of peach pit light and steel

	you’re one of those girls likes
	to soft boil jealous wounds
	then dress them with sterling bandages
	woven from the moon
	an amber-marrowed slayer
	who eats the blackest teeth
	gleaned from sunken soldiers’ mouths
	while they drowse and dream

you’re one of those girls who likes
to pocket river rocks
to bathe in sleeping yellow springs
that weave around hemlocks 
wading through those empty waters
of cold green urine glass
wasting any chance for future
caressing a broken past

	you’re one of those girls who likes
	calculated lunacy
	a cut a cry a fit 
	rehearsed hyperbole
	so carry on you little one
	with your hands and eyes to match
	always stitch your stocking feet
	and kill everything you catch
