Hush

I feel so weak when you speak my name
My Achilles' heel is the closeness that it brings
So maybe just hush
Say that I’m fed up with simple things
Say I crave depth but I’m drowning underneath
I’m begging you hush

This attention hits so different
It cuts through sense and strangles reason
Cupid shoots to kill, he takes no prisoners
I get away with murder when he’s in it
I’m a crossfire killer
Silent like your liquor
Snake oil pusher
Pour me up in the crystal
Not quite a gin & tonic, I’ll make you drink a little
I’ll make you sick and sell the medicine to fix it to you
It feels like blind love, I fit the shape of
These are LA roses, You parade em
I paint the petals black, I make you waste em
I make you waste em

I feel so weak when you speak my name
My Achilles heal is the closeness that it brings
So maybe just hush
Say that I’m fed up with simple things
Say I crave depth but I’m drowning underneath
I’m begging you hush

Like a getaway car always running
Like a Trojan horse smuggle my heart in
Like a house of cards ready to fall I
Wait for your catch
I speak in wildfires, I breathe the flames
You get burned up, you deserve greener things
I hope you’re flourishing, I’m not the rain
I’m what gets washed away

In the darkest recesses of my mind
I’ll wish something kept you away
Our red and blue paints blend too well
Guess oil and water don’t mix quite like sinners and saints
