lyrics

I hear the drum
Of a desperate moth
Caught in the screen
And glass
The streetlights reach in
Through the curtain cloth
Stretching the shadows
Cast

We pick ourselves
From the city’s teeth
throw some worn-out record on
And each of our breaths
Is deafening
In the silence between
Each song

Honey, don’t
Love me please
I’m not the man
I thought i’d be

You say “Sometimes it’s like I’m a guest
‘In hell everything is fine’”
And the words are like stones
Through a hornet’s nest
“There’s worse things to lose
Than time”

Honey, don’t:
Love me please
I’m not the man
That I wanna be

Oh, and days burn down
A pile of ashes
On the ground
And seasons that we
Wait it out
Go passing in a breeze
Days burn down
And all the time you
Swore wont count
It passes in a
Breeze and now
It’s you and i alone

You say “I’d murder the fuckers
I’d wring all their god-damned throats
We’ll never find cover
But the demons aren’t yours alone”

No, no, no, no
No, no, no, mmm

So let ‘em out,
Let ‘em out on me
Let ‘em out”

Another night
In our pleasant hell
A swarm starts rising
From my chest
