lyrics

Five choice words from such a girl
Head splitting open and I’m bleeding blue
Hold my tongue and signal with hands
I love you so you won’t understand

Five choice words from such a girl
Head splitting open and I’m bleeding blue
Speech foregone and signal with hands
I love you so you won’t understand

Tearing off the skin that makes me
Doctor is the patient’s favorite
Gluing pieces back together
Only reborn if she’ll allow it

A tempting illusion like nautical health
Straight-arrow-wellness unfound
Nose to the clouds, one foot tethered down
One eye glazed with fire

I get a head rush
My heart ever lockless, her lovely mind’s key
Like leopard tooth and tortoise shell
Take interest but disagree
