lyrics

You act so young
And so gritty
Looking out across the city lines
Turn the corner
Girl you know your ways are over
Kill me so sweetly
Now

A force breaking
Setting a course for another fake ride
Without a great reason to let us down

Sense of worship
Owning a part in another late night
Mishap
Ensuing by way of the crowd

A voice is breaking
As it's saying
It was fun when it started but now it's a lot to hold on to
The reasons were never in doubt

A voice is breaking
And it's wailingat
As reality tells us that now it's about to be over
Preparing and slowing us down

Never wanna have another plaything
Never wanna love only to break things
Never wanna stop it without starting
Just for you to bring it to the coven
You know that you act so young

And so gritty
Looking out across the city lines
Turn the corner
Girl you know your ways are over
Kill me so sweetly
Now

Sense of longing
Serving a distantly clever lover
How can
The competition make a sound?

Like a pilot
Feeling a need to go on a joyride
Without a license or even a plane

When arriving
At the temple
Try to smile and look in the eyes
Of the ones you hold onto
A second over a lifetime

And it's funny
How much honey
We consumed inefficiently thinking
We might become stronger
And ending up back in the trap

Never wanna have another plaything
Never wanna love only to break things
Never wanna stop it without starting
Just for you to bring it to the coven
You know that you act so young

And so gritty
Looking out across the city lines
Turn the corner
Girl you know your ways are over
Kill me so sweetly
Now
