messy

(album: soil - 2018)

I've been sitting alone for hours waiting for you to bring your ugliest parts to me
I've been naming our thorns for hours hoping you'll treat them as kindly as you treated me
Oh, I've been thinking like a beast for hours, wondering if you like the challenge of cruel men, me
After I glamour you for hours will you have the strength, the strength to extinguish me

Each time you deny my mess you'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
Each time you deny my mess you'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
Close to me

Boy I'm hungry but all my knives are dull, will you sharpen your teeth to hunt and keep me full?
Oh hunt to keep me full
When you're burnt down and you're praying for rain can I wish for flood?
Is that OK?

Each time you deny my mess you'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
(Every time you lie you'll find yourself deeper inside of me)
Each time you deny my mess you'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
(Why would you stay this long if you didn't want me?)
Each time you deny my mess you'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
(Don't act like I don't bring selfish joy to you)
Each time you deny my mess you'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
(You'll find yourself, close to me, closer to me)
Each time you deny my mess you'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
(Oh, to me)
Each time you deny my mess you'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
(Oh)
Close to me
