nerv

They did a botch job of your lips
It slips my mind as your hips swing and dip
(Swing and dip)
Down even on wings of wax
I'd fly to you just to burn out
Just to burn

But with a flick of my wrist
I yearned for that saint
But see there's a shift in you
Move back in the center of a crowd
Your eyes hit mine, enthralled
But you make me wanna move

My silver tongue killer
In the dead of night
Move away from the mirrors
What haunts those red eyes?

I know if I go
Your fervor could cut me down
But I could see your light flicker
Two shots in the dark true sinner

Beneath your blade
My pain was made for you
I had so many words
Fall into my web
Tangled in permanence

This lull feels familiar
When we collide
Oh I hope you get it

Say what you want
I see there's a shift in you
A knife in the back
I see there's a shift in you

(But those red eyes)
I know if I go
Your fervor could cut me down
(I know if I go)
But I could see your light flicker
Your fervor could bring me down
But I can't be the one

Those red eyes
Were lost bathed in rue

They did a botch job of your lips
It slips my mind as your hips swing and dip
(Swing and dip)
Down even on wings of wax
I'd fly to you just to burn out
Just to fucking burn
