Sidewinder

(album: Sidewinder - 2017)

I'm a wave in the ocean
You're a tree in the orchard
I'm out like I'm under
Stuck deep in your soil

From my chest, to my head
To the breath on your neck
Silhouettes and regrets
Now replace you instead

Spit me out
Spit me out

And do you feel empty?
'Cause your whispers consume me
They grow deeper
They shake me and they linger
I'm a renegade and a sinner
You're a blue bird in the winter
Disguising the way you hide
Like a sidewinder

You lack in conviction
So suffer in silence
With self medication
And its sour elation

I've been muting the colours on my skin
I've been matching the distance that you bring
I fall asleep to the pressure
That I can't make this better
'Cause you won't let me further in

Spit me out
Spit me out

And do you feel empty?
'Cause your whispers consume me
They grow deeper
They shake me and they linger
I'm a renegade and a sinner
You're a blue bird in the winter
Disguising the way you hide
Like a sidewinder

You could've used some respect
Instead you played with my head
And now I'll never let you go
I'm on the side of the fence you don't call home
Sidewinder wake me in the dead of night
So you can take me to the place you hide

(And do you feel empty?)
'Cause your whispers consume me
They grow deeper
They shake me and they linger
I'm a renegade and a sinner
You're a blue bird in the winter
Disguising the way you hide
Like a sidewinder
