lyrics

for anyone who’s ever called your name 
here’s a love song 
the sounds are twisted but the word is the same
'til the shakes are gone, the shakes are gone

endless staircase that you run in the night  
each step burns a psychic fire 
it’s a sickness to want the rhythm of life  
for your own desire, your own desire

Chorus
scratched out by the hands of others 
written so pale 
the knife, the nails that brick up this tongue
are the same ones who held me in place for too long
echo with the cries of lovers 
crawling out like a tease
saying please, oh please 
come back to me

but it’s a foolish thing 
when those whimpers are what’s ripping up your back  
the yawn’s repressing 
beyond a glutton’s first blessing

Chorus
