Talk

Taught you to linger at the edge of the light Until our eyes met and we'd dive into the night This flesh and stone, you made it your home Then I'd send you back to black, all alone Hush of the afternoon Flood of the midnight sun There's never enough of us And our blood will rush In my head - I think that's enough The cure and curse we always rush We're always hungry for a love That even poison can't fill up You taunted my fevers And saw my wild flames Weighed my shoulders down And held back the rain I'll talk for days and days Till there's nothing left All the colors drained Living no other way Hush of the afternoon Flood of the midnight sun There's never enough of us And our blood will rush In my head - I think that's enough The cure and curse we always rush We're always hungry for a love That even poison can't fill up I'll talk for days and days We'll drive and lie And waste some time Oh, I know the length of a bruise Oh all the candles at the fucking altar I blew out in honor of you Oh I let myself die in my chest Her prayers still haunt me in my bed Now I cry golden tears and see the mornings alone It's as above, so below
