baby
you've got everything i want
and nothing i need
baby
you're everything to everyone
and nothing to me
when we were young
white was a color
a christian sense of guilt
we earned our love
we faced ourselves
we faced the world
circles round our feet
black thread and pearls
i see in sounds
(i will be)
you only words
(something)
this will be our love
(you can't be yourself)
is all you heard
when what you've said
(after a while)
it's not what you've done
(i will be)
the bandages come off
(nothing)
and the blood runs
when we hold on
it's never fair
all the subtle looks
and branded stares
fall apart
then build again
pedestals appear
when faces red
