Lust 04:08
Feels safer with you here While your throwing sideways stares Across a glass you're watching my frame sink back And it's such a dizzy memory Between twisted sheets and muffled screams But I still feel your skin It's where I live You've been waiting on my face to change But you're just filling up her empty space Where do we go (Where do we go) When we're alone (When we're alone) What's left of us when lust grows old Smells sweeter with you here Like the glow of auburn hair Pull off the dress, I'm tasting your self in flesh And it's such a hazy nightly dream Eating brass lit eyes beneath your seams But I still taste your skin It's where love lives You've been waiting on my face to change But you're just filling up her empty space Where do we go (Where do we go) When we're alone (When we're alone) What's left of us when lust grows old So I'll sit and I'll wait for your call Sugar sun, you had kept all I lost Bloodflowers seem to bloom in my walls I'll pick them and watch the petals fall

Glow 03:14
(All your blurry lights) (They won't let me go) Wait As I collect myself you just walk away Tripping over all the lies I paved Stay For another night we can just obey To the way our bodies tend to sway Slowly craving All your blurry lights They won't let me go Ruining all my nights with their parlous glow I'm wrapped in your sight Should I let them know Lost my sense of pride in your afterglow Hate Such a fitting word for the love we made Stumbling headfirst in my selfish ways Stain Like the mess you had left with me last May And it's not the dream that you promised me Always fading So slowly aching All your blurry lights They won't let me go Ruining all my nights with their parlous glow I'm wrapped in your sight Should I let them know Lost my sense of pride in your afterglow I could say that I'm just sorry for myself But then I'd just be lying To everybody else I could say I'm sorry for mistakes I've made (A thousand times) But I don't think that's the way I want to spend this life Or spend all my nights (All your blurry lights) Sorry it's not what I promised

Champagne 03:06
It's been a few weeks and still we don't speak I bet you're moving on to something new, fake, and shiny 'Cause that's just what you're good at Lying through those perfect teeth But I see the marks on your skin That you try so hard to clean (On my back) In your bed Give me something I can believe (Fall around) Take a shot God I just wish that I could leave It's been a year on and a different view Begged me to leave so I had to follow through Few months too late you grew tired of hurt A broken house that you helped me burn But now I've got a few thoughts left that I just don't wanna keep (On my back) In your bed Give me something I can believe (Fall around) Take a shot God I just wish that I could leave Kick me out and throw it down The champagne I thought you could use to drown I'm not a better person And there's a high horse with your name Ride into the sunset Without my shadow in your way (On my back) Give me something I can believe (Fall around) God I just wish that I could leave

Such a sweet routine The violent games we like to play (Like to play) Chasing our lips down to our waists 'Cause it's hard to admit that we've lost everything When lust becomes reality Red hair And a devious smile Please stay a while we've got so much moon to burn Dead stare As I watch your clothes unravel Let's spend the night where our bodies go to learn Try not to be seen Hide underneath the marks we made Tracing the outline of your frame But it's cold this empty grave you've made for me Where I keep digging selfishly Red hair And a devious smile Please stay a while we've got so much moon to burn Dead stare As I watch your clothes unravel Let's spend the night where our bodies go to learn Wasted time Picking through The remnants of My former love Red hair And a devious smile Please stay a while we've got so much moon to burn Dead stare As I watch your clothes unravel Let's spend the night where our bodies go to learn

Bloodflower 03:51
Saw your stare across purple lights 40 Miles apart but the same thing, just 4 years passed I watch you glide across the floor (Lips bit, eyes like brass) You mouth words I can't hear while I just pretend to laugh The devil in my blood is rushing down And I've been weak to him since I was young Waking up it's red as the sun creeps down 4 Years apart and I'm still the same just 40 miles at my back I watch you ruffle up all my sheets (Eyes lit, lips like glass) And just like her your smile cuts into your cheek Now I can't force a laugh The devil in my blood is rushing down And I've been weak to him since I was young That aching in your chest is calling out So let's lie to ourselves and say that it was all in good fun But I still smell your hair like bloodflowers in the winter sun A haze of regret that's staring at your slowly rising back Drowning myself in your lips and that hair that's all undone I'll let you my bloodflower fill all the good I've always lacked The devil in my blood is rushing down And I've been weak to him since I was young The aching in your chest is calling out So let's lie to ourselves and say it was all in good fun
