Fear/+/Desire

(album: Patience - 2019)

You beg me to build you a monument
And as it grew, oh so did all my regret
Is this what you wanted?
Does holding me down make you feel desire?

Leave my body till I can return
I'll unlearn
All I give to you is meant to burn, burn

When you hit me
It does not feel like a kiss
Like the singers promised
A lie that was written for them
And you're touching me
My skin it turns to mold
And I'm crying out
A story never told

I was hiding out
Is this what you wanted?
Holding me down makes you feel desired

Leave my body till I can return
I'll unlearn
All I give to you is meant to burn, burn

I was climbing into bed and pretended to sleep
While your hands wrap around me and I silently weep
And possession is a demon that I never meant to keep
To keep

You beg me to build you a monument
And as it grew, oh so did all my regret
