Lyrics

He nears suspiciously

As panic enters

Geography for beginners

Barter for the rest of your life

Feeling wasted comes in waves

Orient harder

Then you're molten phase

To smile at a stranger

How much for a life you don't despise

Tongues and a shining silver sun

Don't you wish you hadn't gone

I am starting to sometimes

I wish you were here

Only sweetness that's all

To shake off the bitter

So I make you toothless well

Live on water

Water for a thirst you can't fight

Precious tongues and precious bodies

Have you been savaged by love bites

How much for a life you don't despise

Tongues and a shining silver sun

Don't you wish you hadn't gone

I am starting to sometimes

I wish you were here

Long underrated silver sun

Don't you wish we hadn't gone

We were starting to see a beautiful mirror
