lyrics

recorded in the Bargain Spot basement on Lothian Road, january 2016. drums by jasmeen

where are you to tell me how to live my life today
and stop reading shit into the things that people say
somewhere 'cross the ocean you think there's one of your kind
what do you expect to find there, what d'you think you'll leave behind

your feline features are so graceful it almost makes me puke
just like them i'm standing 'round awaiting your rebuke
but all confidence is useless when your names aren't yet enshrined
like all confidence is useless when you two are not entwined

and I just want to sink my teeth into your soft white flesh
starting at your shoulder working down onto your chest
when I walked you through that doorway just to see how things evolved
take my wisdom, cheeks, confusion's there to be resolved

so when Eilish bailed on me again, I went down the road
down to where the sickos are, the injured old and dying
they said: see no evil, speak no evil, never hear me say
something 'long the lines of "my do I look cute today"
'cause everything is broken and my heart is broken too
in more than just one way but neither is because of you

and I just want to sink my teeth into your soft white flesh
starting at your shoulder working down onto your chest
when I walked you through that doorway just to see how things evolve
take my wisdom, cheeks, confusion's there to be resolved

and when I look at you looks like you're looking for someone
in every room you enter as your grind goes on and on
but I can't get your attention and nothing's there to fill the void
I've never been a man of action, just waiting 'round to be destroyed
