Lylas

Feel the space between us
Expanding and contracting
You’re so fucking clever
You’re so fucking pretty
I’ll see you again after a hot summer
I’ll be your best friend
If you let me
This is how we come to be melting from a solid state
Chasing down a tidal wave
Running on fumes again, running on fumes again
I used to not know your name, I used to not feel your gaze
We cut our palms, made our blood vows
And there’s no turning back now
Try not to get too close, try not to share too much
But you know my buttons
Know just where to push ‘em
Overworked routine, sharing the same sun
Carving up our lots, casting weight off
This is how we come to be
Melting from a solid state, chasing down a tidal wave
Running on fumes again, running on fumes again
I used to not know your name, I used to not feel your gaze
We cut our palms, made our blood vows
And there’s no turning back now
I heard someone talk about you
And I know they’ve never met you
And I wanted not to hate it
But it gave me a sick feeling
You know I want the same things
I want ‘em just as badly
Could we settle for a showdown
Will you swear not to go easy on me
Love you like a sister
Never quite on balance
Root for your ascent
But wary of your shadow
Love you like a sister
Never quite on balance
Root for your ascent
But wary of your shadow
As the lights are called upon you my hands clap with the rest of ‘em
But I feel the cages building, it seems to take so little effort
Am I really better for it?
All those little vicious moments
In this kingdom of plenty, can it really be both of us?
Can it really be both of us? Can it really be both of us?
