Rose thick in my hand,
Rose sunk into lips
Rose so heavy on hearts
My rose it is dried
It's preserved and it's kind
Oh the elegance of holding shape and slip of color
Oh my rose how it grows
Into my love, into my love
so it can hurt me so
x2
And as she pulls my hair
I'll say well ain't that bitter sweet
Even when I want that firm tug
to carry and release
Your teeth so fragile
They will split in my tangles
These knots are so deep
They will break your teeth
You're hands hold every bit of cold
For a heart where blood runs slow
And I surface and sink
A tide of uncertainty
But I can't promise warmth
For your chips and cracks
Oh my rose how it grows
Into my love, into my love
so it can hurt me so
x2
Rose thick in my hand,
Rose sunk into lips
Rose so heavy on hearts

this vulgar feast killed more than we could eat
love doesn't mean a thing when you say it to keep me
no surely it's cheap
when I woke up I was already mean,
but damn I've been holding back trying to seem just like a peach
maybe sweet ain't for me
fire me away - I ain't to proud to say
fire me away - I'll make myself anew again
My hearts a bitter shade of lavender
it's gonna push where it hooks and where it hooks it fails
still polishing this name
I read why not want to be good
I could but honestly I'm a bad, bad, seed
As long as I'm treated to be
fire me away - I ain't to proud to say
fire me away - I'll make myself anew again
misery you have me but we're both nothing to keep
misery you had me but we're both nothing to keep

Bury me firmly, down
Listen lover looks like lately
we've followed freer fauna
back to the forest's fangs
the wisteria has really caught courage
and it's tugging at our feet
but we aren't getting any higher
we certainly haven't received
Bury me firmly, down
Love if you pick or pull
the strands of my remains from your bare teeth
will that keep you healthier than this southern heat
what a soft singe and I'm unsettled, unsettled again
left me kneading around the bend
Bury me firmly, down
look lover we prefer to chase,
and your teeth will never be the same
I'm still lost in the blue of where my sight swells under you
And I'm left untamed, it's cruel, it's cruel, its cruel
but I think I'm still waiting for you

oh holy hell snake in the creek
oh holy hell she ain't good to me
oh holy hell oh holy holy hell
oh holy head slippin underneath
oh holy hell if she ain't got me beat
oh holy hell oh holy holy hell
oh holy hell the serpent swell
oh holy hell her charm beat my will
oh holy hell oh holy holy hell
oh holy hell slithered taught and tanned
oh holy hell I'm crying again
oh holy hell oh holy holy hell
1, 2, 1, 2, ready, go
oh my oh my the scales in her eyes
oh my oh my the silt she left behind
how the hell do I fall for it every time
the irony of a black onyx creed
bade me clemency for our divorce
bid me not of bitter charge
the irony of a black onyx creed
its hard to part to part is hard x4
please believe you'll find relief
in our black onyx creed

little Beast,little beast, little beast
when did you get those lengths in the sea
I wasn't hungry didn't need to feed
puppy tell me tell me little beast
you got me sore and greedy
puppy tell me tell me puppy
you got me hushed, so sorry
should've sent myself away to find other prey
while you were still ivory, your rosey cheeks, you were relief
you rose in the heat, if we're all tarnished and dried
what's left to find and still you're so damn pretty
tell me what you gargled under salty water
tell me how to shame all that we crave
little beast, little beast, little beast
if only i could breathe under the sea
puppy tell me more than what you told me before
