Lyrics
Baroque pearl necklace
Imperfect love, reckless
Built a home inside your chest
Bless this mess, I whisper breathless
A thousand postcards on the wall obsessive
Cover up the stains like it's happiness
Taxing the structure stressed
But I'll still lie here till it's wrecked still
Lie here in the wreck a little longer
Let me rest
Your hands wilt on my ribcage
Heavy sigh, big day
Same shit, but shit's changed
Everything ends with an inhale like there's more to say
If I ignore it, it'll go away maybe
Routine creeps into the "I love you's' and "baby's"
Curiosity drains onto the sheets from your soft touch crystalised
Rhinestone shine
Daylight lingering between us like things said at the wrong time
Fingers reach across blurred lines for something that feels like ice
We flutter like moths in the light
We got lost in the night
Blood or wine, blood or wine
Signs of struggle, passionate crimes
If what we had is sacred
Who plucked the fruit from the vine?
Cherry-red hands dyed
Am I ready to testify?
