Deadlines (Hostile)

(albüm: Making A Door Less Open - 2020)

I never see the threat too soon
The blood on the bandage, the ghost in the room
Got a canvas as white as the moon
But when I see it at night, it's a sickening blue

I was thinking people never change
But there's a new taste of dread that I cannot explain
And the thoughts that make up my life
Get reflected in others from time to time

Now I've got another question
And if we run out of time, can we make an exception
For the piece that needs completion?
And I want to hear more from you, here's what I'd like to do

Oh, temptation
I could be a part of you
(Can't take a message)
Oh, completion (Can't take a message)
Come in closer
Let the candle burn right through
(Can't take a message)
If you can't get what you're after any other way (Can't take a message)

Am I, am I, am I, am I on your mind?
Is it, is it, is it, is it what you like?
Covered under your sleeve sometime
Am I, am I, am I, am I on your mind?
Is it, is it, is it, is it what you like?
Alright, I was really a mistake tonight

I won't speak, I don't know what to say
I can see in your prayers, it's the same things we pay for
Got a currency that you accept
If you want to exchange, we can try to connect
Give me the number to your room and leave the door on the latch
There are tigers in the jungle, there's a knife in the mattress
I don't think we broke the glass but hell if I know
I never learned to dance, what the hell do I know?

I know I won't always need you like this
I swear I'm not always falling to bits
But, but in the hallway the moment hits
And the set-up clicks like a safety

Yeah, you could hear a pin drop, feel it
I feel it, you'll feel it
You'll feel it
I feel it, you'll feel it
Feel it, feel it
Feel it, feel it
Feel it, feel it, two, three, four

Am I, am I, am I, am I on your mind?
Is it, is it, is it, is it what you like?
I was really in a state tonight
Am I, am I, am I, am I on your mind?
Is it, is it, is it, is it what you like?
I'm alright, one day hope I see you sometime
Old time, sometime, all the time, no time

Oh, temptation
I could take a piece from you

Oh, completion
Let it burn, let the candle burn right through
