The Scary Jokes - In a Bitter Syrup

September and October caught me in a nervous daydream
Felt like a piranha dangling on a candy-coated hook
All the rain and overflowing drainpipes couldn't stop the world from glowing
With a light I'd only ever seen in dreams

My eyes are two browning drying flowers pressed hard into my skin
Trying to remember how they looked, if they were beautiful
Casually lying on the kitchen floor, overcome with bubblegum bliss
'Cause this is the first time I've truly had any fun

Sweet confusion in a bitter syrup lift my spirits up again
Kiss me on the eyelids and tuck me into bed
