Slowly

(album: Any Colour You Desire - 2018)

You've gone and made a mess upon your neon wired dress again
And I've spent my time drifting in and out of all of this like a spiders web, so elegantly

How could I rectify though not for lack of trying any of the callous move I've ever made?
It seems we succumb to ourselves more than anything else, again and again

If only you'd feel the cold-bloodedness through my hands
We could wrestle out of this, we could cut through all the strands of the DNA you left on the sheets

But it seems we succumb to ourselves more than anything else
Go ahead and run away so I can go and blame myself
I blame myself for this

Do you panic when the wind blows?
Are you scared of your friends?
Is it too late to ask if its all just pretend?
Cause I feel like a stranger inside of this skin
I'll never let anyone, anyone in
Like a leech, I will bond to your side
Soak the liquid from your limbs, and release

But it seems we succumb to ourselves more than anything else
Go ahead and run away so I can go and blame myself
I blame myself for this

And so I'll recede into a new body
Fake a new smile everyday
Try a little harder to decay, slowly
And slowly I'll sing, drive myself into madness
Holding tightly to my faith
Push a little harder, let it drain

Like a leech, I will bond to your side
Soak the liquid from your limbs, and release
