Crush on a Pretty Bullet

Shady street
Road that leads to nowhere
Shaky hands, film inside broken
Delete her if something better comes along.

The valley of imitation
Distortion of a revolution
How come she suffers
In your world with no pain?

She’s got a crush on a pretty bullet
Love songs in her head
Done asking for forgiveness
To Van Gogh’s missing ear.

Lover in the ugly light
To play your song
The needle went through her eye
Blind, blind
The man she has, camouflage to scars.
