lyrics

There’s blood in the clouds and there’s blood in the telephone satellite voices
It is just a game, do not flinch when I place the cold metal up against your skin
Some bodies beg to be beat and some histories beg to repeat themselves
nobody else can know
the way the house burns from inside
the shame inherent in the fire
oh no no

Extravagant cruelty with chocolate and cherries and you on top
Almost walked out the door when you found out I wrote songs you said oh no I’ve been through this before
but some bodies beg to be beat and some histories beg to repeat themselves
nobody else can know
the way the heart breaks from inside
the love inherent in the lie
oh no no

A lie, a lie, a lie, a lie, a lie, a lie
Just tell me how to want and I will buy buy buy buy buy
A lie, a lie, a lie, a lie, a lie, a lie
Just tell me how to miss you and I’ll try try try try try
