Honey Ride Returns

Verse 1

Crackling skin of the earth breathes in silence

Honey pools lull beneath bone roots, rot runs slow

I walk where sweet and sour stick—shadow under tongue

One step sinks deeper, soil or flesh? I don’t know

Golden insects hum holy hymns deep in my marrow

Just one word—decay—drawn out long, too long

Chorus

Sugar air thick on my lips, I taste what’s left of me

Falling free, forever honey-bound

My memory dissolves like wax, slow drowning haze

I fall down, I fall down, sticky and soundless

Post-Chorus

Drip, drip, drip

Into the blur

Drip, drip, drip

Honey ride returns

Verse 2

Maybe I remember warmth sharp as a blade

Maybe I don’t—just pulse, just pit, sap and slide

Fingers dig tunnels through velvet rot, sweet and sad

Maybe I crave the crawl, the swarm, the lowing tide

Silken strands stretch over my open eyes, darkness drizzles

Soft invaders carve rivers, make nothing mine

Pain pleads in gold, patience soaks through time

Chorus

Sugar air thick on my lips, I taste what’s left of me

Falling free, forever honey-bound

My memory dissolves like wax, slow drowning haze

I fall down, I fall down, sticky and soundless

Post-Chorus

Drip, drip, drip

Into the blur

Drip, drip, drip

Honey ride returns

Bridge

Black suns rise where I used to live

Petals collapse, perfume of ruin, petal after petal

I watch the world spin, slow spiral dream

Behind my teeth—lilies blooming, lilies dying, lilies waiting

Chorus

Sugar air thick on my lips, I taste what’s left of me

Falling free, forever honey-bound

My memory dissolves like wax, slow drowning haze

I fall down, I fall down, sticky and soundless

Post-Chorus

Drip, drip, drip

Into the blur

Drip, drip, drip

Honey ride returns
