Headlines form in velvet skies i see them bearing down on me and i’m spellbound eyes half closed we traipse the high wire both arms extended to the sky ascension
I lift the veil from your new face
Let down love you were after, no sound choke on your laughter
Headlines “they’re coming to take me away” now baby
Sing to me of violence and virtue i swear i’ll never hurt you
Headlines “they’re coming to take me away”
Lips so cruel ill spoken lies twelve seconds stretched across the veins of memory ancient curse spills from your eyes in some mangled version of your mothers tongue then you kiss me
Disguised a smile i despise as sharp as knives they’e slicing up your eyes if only you were here with me tonight to swallow up the darkness in your light
Yeah
