Portra 400 Lyrics
[Refrain]
Making rainbows out of something painful
Getting fried is how I'm dodging gravestones
[Verse 1]
Spiraling in bathrooms, tiles on cheek
Telling me the drugs will only make me weak
Don't you think I know that
Don't you think I know that
Keeping bits of moonstone next to me
Tried to shave your stubble but you gashed your cheek

Getting fried is how I'm dodging gravestones

And I suffer for the sky that you shook nine times
You smell like burnt hibiscus
I still feel blessed even when we're bitching
You stole my spine for a minute
So I cut my hair just to make you smile
[Refrain]
Making rainbows out of something painful
Getting fried is how I'm dodging gravestones
Making rainbows out of something painful
Getting fried is how I'm dodging gravestones
