Grubby
(专辑: Let Them Eat Chaos - 2016)
[Intro] Up the
stairwell: chip-fat grey and London green with damp Out on the
fifth floor, where the
wind grips your jaw And holds you in its clamp There's a
red door, bordered by mottled glass And inside A
lighted lamp Pious lives here Pious is tired but can't sleep, she twitches. Wired She lies beside a
sleeping body, a
girl she barely knows She met her in the
pub And it went the
way it goes The
girl's name is Rose But Pious is lovesick for her Thorn She left her in the
summer And since then Pious can't get warm She's carried her, stuck in her side, since the
day that she was born She dreamed of her and knew her shape Long before she saw her form Well, it's 4:18, and Pious Has been staring at the
blinds for hours She tells herself it's all her fault She doesn't love She just devours [Verse 1] Can't sleep So much to do Tryna get closer to you And you're so far away Tryna get hold of what's true And what's true isn't true when it's day Tell me, how can I
sleep? Got so much to do I'm trying to get closer to you And you're so far away All that I
say and I
do are things that you do and you say How come I'm becoming the
one that I'm running from, hunted by? Slurring my words in the
pub Feeling nervous and overexcited Arms round the
waist of a
girl who might make it alright for a
night Yeah, she tears me to pieces Then I
lie beside her, awake while she sleeps And I
feel much closer to you than I
felt when you were still here Spill beer till you reappear [Hook] I'm thinking of you And the
things you do to me I'm thinking of you And the
things you do to me [Verse 2] Pain in my liver OK Shame. So much shame Can't bear my frame Can't bear your name OK Can't bear this game Let's play New rules Old rituals Guilt trip Heartstrings snap Want to, can't go back Too much Not enough I
can't get your claws out of my guts [Hook] I'm thinking of you And the
things you do to me I'm thinking of you And the
things you do to me [Verse 3] This is my mind GETOUTOFIT You didn't want it How come you're still hanging around in it? This is my body LETGOOFIT You didn't want it How come you're still fucking controlling it? This is my night. Get lost in it This is my bridge. Stop crossing it This is my face, stop smiling This is my space You been gone so long How come I
still find you hiding? Fighting me I'm fighting my darkest parts I'm frightened Nightmares Tighten my hands round my own throat 'Cause you're the
snake charmer and I'm the
old rope No hope Just go now please, just leave Still in the
air that I
breathe I'm stranded Arms outstretched for a
body Any body Here's a
body But I
wake up and I
can't stand 'em I
feel so grubby Don't want can't stop just love me Breath like a
cigarette stubbed in the
gutter Come close, no wait don't touch me Ugly Push and pull phonecall beep beep looking through names for the
one that feels most dangerous I
can't believe you're in love again I
can't open my heart to anybody but strangers [Hook] I'm thinking of you And the
things you do to me I'm thinking of you And the
things you do to me [Hook] I'm thinking of you And the
things you do to me I'm thinking of you And the
things you do to me
