understeer by violethead

piercing like a needle
and suddenly i see her
lifeless in the passenger seat
and she’s beautiful
nosebleed and eyes wide open
lips parted like a mourning dove crying

in the waiting room
they’re calling out my deadname
i know what this means
you don’t have to tell me that you’re sorry
it’s not like you ever meant it anyway

i’m not suicidal it’s just hard to commit
a lacy slip in the slick-top JDM whip
understeer and i’m flying
there's no use in crying
kiss me like i’m dying
kiss me like i’m dying

take risks with strangers on the internet
can’t buy a glock, a suzuki, or a cigarette
almost showed myself the exit three years ago
almost did it accidentally yesterday

i’m not suicidal it’s just hard to commit
a lacy slip in the slick-top JDM whip
understeer and i’m flying
there's no use in crying
kiss me like i’m dying
kiss me like i’m dying

peel down the yellow wallpaper
pray this isn’t the last time you see her
grab the keys to the honda wind it up to eight thousand
slide out and wrap myself around a telephone pole

do you know who to call?
are their mailboxes full?
i’ll really miss my sister
and a whitetail’s the witness
for my last breathing moments
and i hope you know
i love you i love you i love you

i’m not suicidal it’s just hard to commit
a lacy slip in the slick-top JDM whip
understeer and i’m flying
there's no use in crying
kiss me like i’m dying
