lyrics

You say you love me cause of the way I burn you in the night
You say you love me better than the other girls
Because I put up a fight
You always were attracted to the spirits on my lips
And the way I let you kiss me slowly
Cloudy thoughts sprung from a well,
And I was too fucked up to tell
That I was only running from the lonely

You say the rage behind my eyes lights a spark
The likes of which you’d never seen
Running from the monsters that I meet in the dark
In the bottom most depths of my dreams
A twisted messy pirouette I try my best just to forget
Until another time spins me round again
Into the haunches of a lion that I am fruitlessly trying
To beard inside of his own den

But I love you still despite the thrill that chill me to my bone
I’ll never get my fill of lead and chamomile,
For better or worse, you are my home

I roll another smoke for us to eat for breakfast, then for lunch,
We sip a little wine and talk in stares
And I let your eyes melt into mine,
Feel you make home in my mind, a prick or two
But I never cared
For I always was attracted to the spirits on your lips,
And the way you let me kiss you slowly
I never stood from when I fell into my own personal hell
That made me feel divinely unholy

But I love you still despite the thrill that chill me to my bone
I’ll never get my fill of lead and chamomile,
For better or worse, you are my home
