lyrics

My limitations go as far the moon can shine, but the lighting is dying.
Never impatient when we're chasing the skylines, it's your soft thighs in your Calvin Klein's.
But the connotation doesn't lay on my chest right. I'm trying, I'm fighting, this hesitation that has hollowed my insides. I feel miles from alright.

It spews. You're the muse.

Tight lipped infirmary, I'm cynical.
I know it's tempting, but don't lie to me. No, don't lie to me, girl.
Looks like we've thrown away our principles. It looks tempting, so just lie to me. Yeah, just lie to me, girl.

I'll try to carry the weight. I wouldn't want it all to go and bury the face of a china doll.

It spews. You're the muse.

The sap in the sapphire. The barb in the barbed wire. Your worst describes me. I'll find ways to give up, but your name it stays stuck to what's left inside of me.

Thanks for helping me get through separating with the first person I had a real relationship with. Manages to be excellent sad pop punk a la The Story So Far except with an actual singer and lyrics that aren’t misogynistic like TSSF and so many bands of that cohort. dirtycommiescum
