lyrics

all that she dreams is of being alive
building a home with the walls made of fire
all that i see of her in floral sheets
bondage complete

why didn't i hum?
why didn't I scream?
why didn't i love?
why didn't i leave?
pull back your hair and see
there's a world behind me

bullshit & stardust and somewhere to breathe
i'll need something harder to pacify me
binary doubles repel & repeat & retreat & retreat
now relax cause it's only a drink & a seat
and a trembling smile for a perilous feat
redone redundant//inspired & direct
you're a killer//i expect
