Hold aloft
Crystal glass
Light hits
Breaks a face apart
Predatory by design
We know you think what's yours is mine
So much skin so little time
Endless sea

Holy God
We are just bags of blood
Stop hitting on girls you love
Stop spitting on girls you love

Hold aloft
Crystal glass
Light hits
Breaks your face apart
I love anyone but me
Tried sipping subtly
It's all in who you see
Endless sea

Holy God
We are just bags of blood
Stop hitting on girls you love
Stop spitting on girls you love

All in all it's still repeating
The letch fucks the fawn
Stoney eyes never stop bleeding
If they saw what we saw
Snakes out, sex stealing
What about the law
Not every girl is a nail
You're not a hammer
So

What about, what about, what about
What about right now, right now
What about, what about, what about
What about right now, right now
What about, what about, what about
What about right now, right now
What about, what about, what about
What about right now, right now

    To me, this song is describing a chauvinist male who treats women like dirt and trys to hit on everyone regardless of the emotional swath he cuts. The repeated lines "hold aloft/crystal glass/light hits/breaks a face apart" "endless sea" I think is describing a club or bar, crystal glass, bright lights, the breaks a face apart could be describing how strobe lights distort faces and just gives the frame by frame impressions of everyone. Endless sea is the crowds and how the guy views his supply of women to be endless, a faceless sea of bodies. " i love anyone but me/tried sipping subtly" Is the crushed girl who has had her self confidence shattered by this guy who treated her like a piece of meat and threw her away, so now shes just reserved to herself quietly sipping her drink.
