Devotion Cuts

(альбом: Mental Knife - 2018)

Depart when the building lights go out
Depart when the doors are locked
Depart when the building lights go out
Depart

Always in motion
Distant devotion cuts through time zones away
City by city I come just to leave
And I just want to be like a bed bug
And live in your sheets
2:00 in the morning: I call to see if you're awake
The car is stopped and for a moment I can think

How can I be what you need and who you believe
When I'm always gone?
I'm in debt with your understanding, girl

Remember when we first would talk
I think what I loved most about you was your thoughts
When you call I will just listen
If you want I can talk
As you speak I will just listen
I don't want it to stop

I'll stand close to you so we're an easy target
The arrow, stabbing through, holds us both in place
If we were to, then become a separate unit
We would have to rip where it grew in us

Distance
Distress
I don't say enough
How I treasure this but

How can I show that I care and always be there
When I'm never home
I'm in debt to your love
Most of all I just want to be

Right by you in perfect silence
City by city I come just to leave

But for now let me be like a bed bug
And live in your sheets
2:00 in the morning
I'm in your room
Our nest
My muse up on a perch

White line repetition
Dotted line infestation
In a distant desert town
That's where I'll go
