Driftwood Heart

(Album: Darling - 2015)

I've got skin and I've got bones
Built to hold your body close
Build a shell, a driftwood heart
Made out of stone
Trace my tongue along your hips
Planting flowers with my lips
Carving hearts inside your palms
With empty fingertips
But I'm feeling so alone
Wishing you would just come home
Because it's getting dark
And all I have is time
And time may be the death of me
But time will never get the best of us

With a tear
I say goodbye
And watch the moonlight
Leave your eyes
Kiss me dear
One more time
Take my hand
And hold it tight

Broken stitches in your back
Where your wings were once attached
And the devil in your veins
To keep you company
Lay your skull across my chest
Burn your flesh into my flesh
Painting raindrops with your blood
Until it's all been bled
But you're feeling so alone
And wishing I would just come home
Cause it's getting dark
And all you have is time
And time may be the death of you
But time will never get the best of us

With a tear
I say goodbye
And watch the moonlight
Leave your eyes
Kiss me dear
One more time
Take my hand
And hold it tight

Oh what a tangled web we weave
With our lust full bursting at the seams
This driftwood heart is only yours
But I'm drifting from the shore

And with a tear
I say goodbye
And watch the moonlight
Leave your eyes

With a tear
I say goodbye
And watch the moonlight
Leave your eyes
Kiss me dear
One more time
Take my hand
And hold it tight
