lyrics

We sit on roman candles
Hoping that we hit the moon
And our fireworks will never see
The death that’s so apparent
When soaring through the air

We bathe in golden sunlight
Hoping we become siblings of the stars
And the burn that is apparent
Will be soothed by cool water
Instead of each other’s arms

A foolish girl can know no words better than the truth
That is to say each one that’s said has the nature of bruised fruit

We stained our teeth on bashful grapes
And gulp from crystal glasses
Hoping to ease timid minds
Looser lips are more equipped
When talking from the vine

Let’s pretend we’re a piece of mythology
Living and breathing in a work of dichotomy
Spinning in an ellusive humanity
Until we proved all love stories insanity
