selfishly i sink
Singer:counterparts
bred to feel an unfamiliar touch
lust begins and ends with both of us
in the wake of shallow waves you leave
fill the void like fingers in my mouth
spread slowly like a plague i've invited into me
emotions cast like stones skipped across empty lakes
cure your rust from within
no desire lives past dawn
drive a nail through both of my lips if you must
we whisper as a metaphor for trust
not worth the cancer i have caused
sever the ties to keep from stringing this along
suspended just out of arms reach
no vacant pair of wings were ever fit to hold me
in the wake of shallow waves you leave
but somehow you're completely clean
cure your rust from within
no desire lives past dawn
drive a nail through both of my lips if you must
we whisper as a metaphor for trust
no vacant pair of wings were ever fit to hold me
