Lyrics
keep the curtains drawn
fall in and out of sleep
whisper softly, shadows roam
the light that fools your heart
product of fear, don’t strike
we’re victims of the flesh,
we’re hollowed by the sound
the sounds of thrashing beasts and wind
plagued by the light of the moon, we weep
hounds seek shelter in our dreams
the flame won’t keep for long
the songs you sing are a shriek
I sent you a message
like an echo incomplete
a fossil in heat, the patterns of our speech
we’ll lose it all to the dark
Ivy, can you cut across the heat
and the prose, we’re haunted I suppose (feel no shame now)
mark the soil that bleeds from underneath (your story’s safe with me)
Ivy! you can call me anything, (you can call me any time)
find me overseas (find me in your tapestry)
in your tapestry
fragile soul, leave your mark
let your mind speak for your heart
spit and shiver, my friend
whine and whimper like a dog
gold spills into rivers bare
soon consumed by the earth and air
tyrants, thieves, and lovers drown
skin grows old, and old hearts wither
what will I become,
if now I live only as a shadow
I am what I choose to face
and I am at your mercy
and I haven’t lost it yet
I’m only saying
nothing would stop me
yeah, nothing will stop me til I crash
Ivy, can you cut across the heart (wait for me to leave)
and can you wait for me to leave
quell the shrieks of spirits still unseen (don’t be afraid to breathe)
Ivy! I can tell you anything! (you can call me any time)
so tell me what it means to me (find me in your sleep)
I’ll be your parasite queen
I was only praying for rain
I was only hiding in shame
I’m bound, and at your mercy
I guess that’s just what I get
tie down your tongue and pray
bite soft, your ghost will say
it’s not a promise you can break
blood lust carved into your face
no, I would watch yourself
don’t let the devil catch you
Ivy, you can cut me with a touch (wipe your tears away)
but the blood won’t do me any good
I reach for god, with hands tied I surrender (you’re hiding in your dreams)
Ivy, you can tell me anything
and I'll tell everyone,
and I won't tell you
we are, what we choose to face
as light shifts in and out of place
cast your flame, cower in the mud
crimes of passion, bleed out your grudge
(hide within me, shield your heartbeat) how do your last words sound tonight? break your promise, my love
(feel no shame, all memory bleeds out tonight) memorial pyre, the heart’s rogue fire
(seeing eye, don’t compromise me) leave the curtains up, let the cold in
(clip your wings, spit out your tongue) you’re a coward and a freak, don’t make me beg again
cavern of a scar, medicine and soil
water underground, the image of a god
devil in your heart, poison in the well
memory begets, visions like a dream
grief is a gift too sweet on the tongue
blood of a poet, phantom in the sun
take anything you want, any time you want
if you don’t want to talk, then keep it to yourself
cover up and cry, you’re a ghost
don't tell me you're alone
cover up and cry, you’re a ghost
don’t tell me you’re alone
bite soft on the iris
soft on the eyes
just tell me what you want
just tell me what you want
put the gun down
tell the truth
put the gun down
tell the truth
(sweetie's a liar)
(sweetie's a liar)
don’t let it make you sick
don’t let it make you sick
(sweetie's a liar)
(sweetie's a liar)
you make me nervous
you make me sick
you're the only one upstairs
camera flash, corpse in the cavity
invisible script, hand on your heart
I know you know, I know you know what I mean
you know you know what I mean
I am I am I am what I am
I am I am I am what I am
I’m on your side now
this medicine’s bad
I’m on your side now
you’re a sick dog, baby, you’re a freak
sweetie's a liar
sweetie's a liar
grief's too sweet to waste
right now is where you stay
I found the answer right between your palms
yeah I found a good time hidden in your skull
if you're scared now, you can practice on my teeth
send me a message, and make my liquor sweet
andy put the gun down, isaac tell the truth
reap what you sow, yeah he’s got it out for you
heat of the moment, kill me in california
make this the last time, you better make this count
jordan is guilty, you told me it's a sign
college avenue, you look ugly when you cry
no, I am not an author, don’t come back
no, this is not a stereo, keep your hands to yourself
this is not a photograph, this is not a test
keep me close enough, don’t let it make you sick
ivy's got a secret, call it what it is
salt in the wound, bitch this is what you get
ivy, you’re scaring me again
again, again, again
I’m scared to move, for wrath turns us to fools
tear off your wings and carve fucking
portraits in your vacant arm,
aries, in the witch hunt, bloodsucker
malachi, hellfire, torch the heavens and run
get your legs off mine
bite soft on my eyelids
you should've made your move
you should've made it quick
you make me nervous!
you make me sick!
your eyes dance like an animal
your lips read between the lines
I’ve never done this before!
I'll never do it again!
don't worry, it's a metaphor!
the soul shapes what it can find!
eat yourself out like an insect
you will prey on tree bark, and an author’s tongue
this is your sign, to find out and die
dear god, I'm an actress
dear god, I'm a crook
dear god, I'm a liar
you can read me like a book
oh, no, I can’t breathe
I won't bleed for nothing
sun, rays, keep, faith
melt, and say
your river’s murky, but your blood runs clear
your blood runs clear
your blood runs clear
your blood runs clear
