lyrics

Imperfections are always more appealing,
like a puzzle with many pieces lost under your couch
Deeper than the eyes could see,
Damaged more than you can contain, as seductive as a nuclear war is for capitalists
A shot of anti-routine,
a pint of insecurity,
Two drops of connecting sends you to a good-night lack of sleep
Small doses to get me hooked, OD’ing recursively, wanna puff you, snort you, heat you up on a teaspoon & inject you to my veins

Look into your eyes, and all I see is comforting disorder
You’re drowning in quicksand, I’m saving you by diving in

I wanna lick
All of your self-
Inflicted Wounds
I wanna suck
The venom out of you
And savor it just one last time
Why won’t you let me heal you

You show up every morning like a killer instinct, focusing me on the hunt, broken compass and foggy starless skies
I’ll be a shield and a sword against what’s flooding you, we have no future but our present is immortal

Look into your eyes, and all I see is order in discomfort
You’re drowning in quicksand, I’m saving you by diving in

I wanna lick
All of your self-
Inflicted Wounds
I wanna suck
The venom out of you
And savor it just one last time
Why won’t you let me heal you
