lyrics

If you're asking, then I'm down to be up all night. The door was closed but I worked my way inside. If you're sleeping, then I'm up to be down all night. If I can make it, I'll drive. The softness of your cotton mouth was wet at the last drags of a Parliament cigarette. The smoke curling from your eyes, it rises. Your legs like a filter- recessed. The way that you clean your fur as neat as the blood-soaked bird you dropped at my feet. Don't have to crawl on your hands and knees to please me, just lie on my lap and pur. Be sweet, be sweet, show me your hands. I sweat in heat between the sheets. There's nothing between us now. Break down my walls and measure my flaws, but don't leave me alone. Unhinge my jaw so I can swallow all of your skin and your bones. Roll in the mud, I will boil your blood, I will burn your home. Rested are seeds that go unsown. Replace my face, watch me fall from grace, watch me climb on again. Engage my brain, show me pain, have no shame, let me clean off your hands. Hold hands in prayer, let us be right here- this is where the world ends. And let us start here again. If you're asking, then I'm down to be up all night. The door was closed but I worked my way inside. If you're sleeping, then I'm up to be down all night. If I can make it, I'll drive. And then I let out a laugh, or half of one, I had to. And you were lying naked and unselfconscious across your sheets. And in that stunning silence after which I had you, we are the same, I feel your pain, I know your grief. Trap me in snares, unfurl all your sails, let the ocean extend. Grab both my hands, drag me to dry land as if its use to pretend. Hold hands in prayer, let us be right here- this is where the world ends. And let us start here again. Every minute, the whole world is moving and I'm standing still, until you leave me empty and so fulfilled. If you're up to be pursued or pursuing, then I'm satisfied. Your love is pure perfection in my eyes. The bitterest defeat, the sweetest wine. I only get up to fall behind. The bitterest defeat. Every minute, the whole world is moving and I'm standing still, until you leave me empty and so fulfilled. If you're up to be pursued or pursuing, then I'm satisfied. Your love is pure perfection in my eyes.
