lyrics

Even your roses scar
Suck down blood with your grapes
Third hour stand naked
Explore the skin with your blades

A loaded gun to the head
Will lead to infighting
Crimson attracts the eyes
Do what your heart desires, stand still
Do what your heart desires, stand still

Are we the dying wasp?
That beats itself against the glass
Unable to face you
Unable to face ourselves
Unable to face ourselves
We're not alone

Exhibitionist
There are no boundaries
All beginnings start tame
The end is scrawled in your brain

A loaded gun to the head
Will lead to infighting
Crimson attracts the eyes
Do what your heart desires, stand still
Do what your heart desires, stand still

Are we the dying wasp?
That beats itself against the glass
Unable to face you
Unable to face ourselves
Unable to face ourselves
We're not alone

Are we the dying wasp?
That beats itself against the glass
Unable to face you
Unable to face ourselves
Unable to face ourselves
We're not alone

I write, record and mix everything myself in my home studio in Cardiff ... more
