lyrics

I could lose myself in you
Maybe that's what you want me to do
I'll hold your hand you'll break my back
We'll dance and slip between the cracks

It's a crime scene of gospel proportions
It's a Hail Mary under heavy distortion
It's a curtain call at the age of eleven
I fell asleep at the gates of Heaven

It's a crime scene of gospel proportions
It's a Hail Mary under heavy distortion
It's a curtain call at the age of eleven
I fell asleep at the gates of Heaven

Don't you ever let me go
Take me to your weathered glow
Show me that we're still the same
I still cry when I say your name

The nosebleeds of seventh grade
The silence under willow shade
The tempest from your golden dress
Just kiss me and I'll acquiesce

The nosebleeds of seventh grade
The silence under willow shade
The tempest from your golden dress
Just kiss me and I'll acquiesce

The nosebleeds of seventh grade (It's a crime scene of gospel proportions)
The silence under willow shade (It's a Hail Mary under heavy distortion)
The tempest from your golden dress (It's a curtain call at the age of eleven)
Just kiss me and I'll acquiesce (I fell asleep at the gates of Heaven)

The nosebleeds of seventh grade (It's a crime scene of gospel proportions)
The silence under willow shade (It's a Hail Mary under heavy distortion)
The tempest from your golden dress (It's a curtain call at the age of eleven)
Just kiss me and I'll acquiesce (I fell asleep at the gates of Heaven)

Won't you tell me one more time
About the heroes and villains of your design
Won't you watch me confess
You know I'll never give you, give you anything less

And when it all comes down
And I'm trying to make sense of how you sound
It'll fuck me in the head
And bathe me till I'm finally fed

You talk too much
Don't talk at all
Now the crown gave way
To a half dead crawl

Well you talk too much
Don't talk at all
Now the crown gave way
To a half dead crawl

Well you talk too much
Don't talk at all
Now the crown gave way
To a half dead crawl

Well you talk too much
Don't talk at all
Now the crown gave way
To a half dead crawl

Well you talk too much
Don't talk at all
Now the crown gave way
To a half dead crawl

Well you talk too much
You don't talk at all
Now the crown gave way
To a half, a half dead crawl

The way that you love me
Might one day destroy me
The way that you love me
Is all I ever want to be

The way that you love me
Might one day destroy me
The way that you love me
Is all I ever want to be

The way that you love me
Might one day destroy me
The way that you love me
Is all I ever want to be

The way that you love me
Might one day destroy me
The way that you love me
Is all I ever want to be
