lyrics

think of fifteen reasons
lay them all out on the crystal table
why would you fall for that?
i give you plan a
like it's going to require plan b
i feel you breathe in
like we're going to be locked here forever
until the eventual decline
or the eventual demise
falling hard
like we're the roman empire
like we're a dynasty reclined
why haven't you fallen for that?
i give you fifteen reasons
all of them flawless
like algebra, like porcelain
run through finite fields
feel the rain strike your bare back
kiss me like you mean it
like your best efforts are wasted on me
looping your fingers through my belt
thanks for waiting until the eventual decline
to share your real face
can't we lay here forever
locked in this embrace
plasticine memory
