I want a biblical love
But it’s never enough
Bled every day for a month
A chemical release
I’ll make it up to you

There’s something strange in the water
I miss my prepubescent body
I miss my ten year old dreams
Now I sleep with a knife
I’m baptized in the night

I want to be faithless and pure
I want to be quiet and sober
I want to be untouched and clean
‘Til you follow me home
And you take that from me

But it feels like I’m climbing fucking mountains to get to you

And God, you’re so tortured, I just love that about you

I want a biblical love
But it’s never enough
Want it to tear me apart
Drain the breath from my lungs
‘Til I’m coming undone

But how much more do you need?
Do you want me to bleed?
All night I’m clenching my teeth
You hunt me down in my dreams
Make a martyr of me

Eternal Sunshine

I’m sorry flowers, another disaster I broke a glass, you cleaned it up Nobody told me what I’m meant to do after With all of these pieces swept under the rug …

If I Beg You

I run my mouth and it’s not great But you broke my heart on my birthday You said, “don’t cry, you’re making this harder” Well goddamn, …
