lyrics

Yeah we're evil but no'ones watching
Every move is a motion gendered and selfish
get hidden, get healed
It's working for me, barely concealed
Faking the faith til I'm back in the gate
Vacant and safe full of pet hates
Here to support, all of your thoughts,
Choked by the roses, wrecked by the thorns
Is it dead, Has he checked, Is it dead, Is it dead?
Is there something, to be said, for giving up ~~~~~
Do we need, More in the cup, what level of, shit is enough
If poisoned, can we leave, Do we need, to see it this rough
Who can see, who's tracing me, how do they know, we're all grubs
Can they see, us eat the leaves, magnified and, speaking with slugs
I gave you new roses
The thoughts count, the process
Bring me dead flowers in the evening,
First point of contact, last thing we do,
A bit of pollen never hurt anyone,
Now detritus for someone new,
I left and picked it out,
It wilt just when I showed you,
No love in the eye of the beholder
No way to really know you
Swollen architecture of tissue
Melted, integrity is gone,
I packed my shit into a tent,
Camped out on the lawn
I swear I forgot being cruel,
The flush cheeks almost swell,
You escaped one dull hell,
Now for someone else,
