Reticence as an Artform – Laika (USA) Lyrics
I awake to sighs and softened laughter
Along the rocks, I see a chapel
The church top caws, and from the maw I see
The devil is inside of me
I wipe the dirt from my new bookbag
And unsheath the heart of loves who look back
And find a home among the bones
In my languid repose I shiver and groan
Now as I finally collect myself
Its with aching bones that I lend myself
To the end of another, to the end of a lover
And a friend, this is how it was meant
It's killing me, more every singlе day that I look to you, that I look to say
This love of mine has been made to bе afraid
Of the heart it has, of the heart it had been gave
And I'm killing time, oh every single day, I'm an anchorite
I'm the judas in your play
You're an acolyte and you're giving me the stage
To abhor the night, does this lunacy abase?
All you know
So call me, when you're lonely
It's not like I'll pick up
And you can blame all your mistakes on me
And when you finally notice
I'll be out for the night
Conquering a hero's plight
And there will no to blame but me
I shed my skin in your house
Looks like I'm gonna be a real girl
And all I want is to make amends
I return my soul for you
I'm a satellite drifting through the night
And maybe out of spite
I never wanna be near love again
And good fortune shows
Even through windows
In your afterglow
My biggest fear arose
I talk soft just to take the pressure off
My morning dove and paracetamol
I'm an anchorite
Coming back tonight
For my final fight
Against a world I've given life
I'll keep you on your toes
A love to whom I chose
To deal the killing blow
And relinquish all my throws
I talk soft just to keep the pressure off
My morning dove and paracetamol
In my heart of hearts
I look for the start
The perfect counterpart
For my angst to tear apart
Its all too much, I know
And as my fears arose
I murdered all my hope
For the girl I loved the most
I spent a month watching flowers die on the side of my bed
Not as it was but as it felt
Through blurred contacts I saw your head fall off your neck into the garbage bin and I knew I wouldn't be part of it
I'll go through it all and still scream your name
I'd do it over again I'd move across the state
And if he
Could love you so
Well I'd wanna see you before I go
At the end of the show when all the actors are done
Well I'll watch them undress through eyes that run (Where we found our love for forbidden fruit, where we carved our name in poison root)
