lyrics

Shadows bursting overhead, the saints are filled with love
and I’m here knocking on floorboards

We’re screaming at the moon, just to show us all the shadow of a girl
her hands are like a melting pot of altars thrown headfirst at the world
We’ll fill her up with sorrow and throw her in a world that don’t exist
the seas have turned to fire covered in a bloody mist
of all these little things, she seems to love

I’m sitting by her side, with my crucifix in hand
tells me that she never wants another one, any kind of man
and I get up for a dance, and she walks away
mouthing all the words, but I try to drown it out
with imitating girls who feel like they’ve created every single world
I’m raking in her love from miles away

I’m a birthplace sinner
I never need her anymore
