Lyrics
Lyrics amidst flames
You looked at me and said
I see it
Lying there next to you
Feeling the veins of your sheets
Pump forever into our skin
You love me right
Coffee in the morning
Sextime turns into tongues tied and landslides
On and on and on
Fucking in the morning
Take me all of me God I hope I still know me
Louisiana doesn’t sound the same
But I’m no longer afraid
We drink the streets and get drunk off of time
Tables and faces and people change but I’m always across from you
Mistaking words of sobriety for chains
Building bricks and what is this and you tied down
Icarus
My god I think I saw a ghost
She came to you in a state of half-sleep
So why does she haunt my dreams
I don’t wanna know but this is essential
Nevermind //just sing me to sleep
Hey
I’m over settling
You push me and pull me and I like
It/you
I’m yours
but –careful- don’t burn yourself
And try not to ground light (bright, star-sight, shooting star, where we are, far, in, happy)
This isn’t your fault but you gave Icarus glue
Arbitrary means to higher ground.
