lyrics

black stains
or ochre i can hardly tell
in this dim light
no need to see when we know each other this well
run my hand along you
keep me steady when i'm dizzy
when it's hard to move
dim light, quiet just so i can hear you
nothing works in you
time's slow and you change the floors
'we don't go there anymore'
'we don't go there anymore'
oh, but i do
cold skin bruise lividity
hunched over wide eyed
like you ate your son
righting a chair
and i know it's you
marks on the carpet move the table
you make me happy to be with you
carnations and orchids
saw fit to wilt them
i know you're bitter
i'll bring you blood instead
oh, but i will
i'm in love with your plaster, the way it peels
you make my heart still
my hand inside you i know you're real
oh, but you need me
you need my stains to cover old ones
i know you're lonely
in the daylight once so proud you're ugly
so let's drink let's sleep let's rot
let's fuck the night
i want you i don't care it's wrong
can't make you happy but i'll try
in vain but still
what do you know? what can you feel?
lips against the wall
where you're bare can you tell?
oh, but i do
and i will
because you need me
because you're so alone
