lyrics

Behind the wormwood leaves
Hide your left foot for it
Is the curse that breaks your beautiful
Beautiful, precious one

We protect our secrets
With smokescreens and in turn
They make our dreams more like hollywood
Hollywood, restless one

And I won’t be the first
To find that blood tastes good
Heads are rolling past the silverware
Roasting bodies in the oven air
And I won’t be the first

We bind our heirlooms in
Mahogany for it
Runs straighter than any tale we rune
Tale we rune, wretched one

One day we cease to be
Leave the forest belie
The soil we learned to love, moth to fire
Moth to fire, hollow one

And I won’t be the first
To find that blood tastes good
Amber-trapped in things we thought were there
All this time we stood still in thin air
And I won’t be the first
