lyrics

My house is overrun by fruitflies
And I'm so tired of disguising
The way I feel about your departure from my life
So I'm trying everything I know to pacify

I'm fine, I'm just wasted half the time
Fruit flies, buzzin through my mind
This cloud of signs
Designed

I been surrounded by fruit flies
Ever since that night when they floated past your eyes
When you shrugged your shoulders so eloquently
You shrugged your shoulders at me

It's fine, you turned on so bright a dime
Fruit flies buzzin round my mind
This ancient sign
Dissolved in lime
This cloud of mine
Designed

I been ingested by fruit flies
It doesn't seem like they will ever leave my mind
But I been hoping they can get gone
So I can pack my stuff up and move on
