[Hook]
I can hear the blood coursing through your body
I can see your collarbone, see a little sweat
I don't have a light on me… I'm sorry
I just stepped into the darkness to clear my head
[Verse 1]
Baby, yeah, you're like a evil baby
Full size horns, red eyes, the whole nine
Voice is lo-fi your heart is a coal mine
With no canaries left...
You're a voice actor home from the studio
Watching p**nography, shouting obscenities
A cartoon rabbit still snickering and twisting your tongue
As you sniff who you used to be up
Vesuvius due to erupt, so vivid all day
When every inch of our skin is pompeii
You're a five star entree comin' up at 5am
You're a puppy… with rabies
You're a babydoll Che T on a white girl with dreadlocs
A revolutionary, you're a can of baked beans
And god is a hobo on a back road telling crazy
Stories to other drifters in the night and our life
Our existence is just one of them
And when he gets to the part about you...
They don't believe him
You're a reason
Yeah a bad one but
You're a reason to do something stupid
And I don't need a reason
To feed this starving satellite that circles me endless
A bursted appendix grenade-like
You're an explosion of daylight
In the middle of a dream about s**
You're a twelve hour sleep without rest
You're a leap of faith…
Into a bottomless pit
Don't twist your tongue at me, my dear
You can't tie knots in a toothpick
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Maybe that was harsh, it's not that you're not beautiful
It's just that a lot of things are beautiful
Like sunsets, a big bowl of pasta, the milky way
Minneapolis, a hearty breakfast
There's more than one way to remember what we built today
A contact, an alliance, a friendship
I can give you that much if you'll accept it
‘cause two people don't have to touch to be connected
Yes …that's a common misconception
“let's just be friends” is a beautiful sentence
Too many lovers and not enough love
I know folks who f** a lot but ain't got no one to trust
And I ain't saying that monogamy's for everyone
Or you're a bad person if you sleep around
I'm just sayin' I'd rather grab a slice wit ya
Than spend the night wit ya, and after that, I'll see ya ‘round
