lyrics

Soaking through every layer of clothing
This is nothing new, nothing new
Dripping moonlight through Venetian blinds
I want only you, only you

Clawing through all protective layers
Am I what you want, what you want?
Laying exposed in soft focus blur
Forget what’s been taught, been taught

You could have just lied to me
Like you lie when it’s closing time
Why would you lay with me
I’m a flight risk, prime
For abandonment

Washing off my layers of decay
Betrayed by words you meant, words you meant
Everything offered comes at a cost
You already know my replacement, replacement

You could have just lied to me
Like you lie when it’s closing time
Why would you lay with me
I’m a flight risk, prime
For abandonment

Imagine regret so deep you feel it in your bones
I hear the laughter still, a cold you’ll never know

I wish you just lied to me
And saved me the pain and time
Why would you lay with me
When I’m so delicate, prime
For punishment
