lyrics

midnight messes with our heads
that feeling in my chest burns and burns, but
i really do love you though, you know?

prettier than any other tragedy i know about
you’re prettier than any other tragedy i know about
you’re prettier than any other tragedy i know about
you’re prettier than any other tragedy i know about

all your violets drowned in that flash flood the other week
you watched their bodies float in the courtyard hoping they’d speak
teardrops chastened by my salivary grief
we’re healing salves, symbiotic bound by belief
i’m your creature, sylvan spirit, your delight
and you’re my naiad, petals wilted, in the palest shade of night
we’re a dyad, waxing pallid, playing coy
the world’s too pretty, wholly, for you to be my boy

the past is far behind us now
like stones atop the headlands
we’ll run off towards the sunset
kiss like lovers on the street
beyond the where that’s inland
and the when that is tomorrow
so take my hand and hold me close
and we’ll both be tragedies

prettier than any other tragedy i know about
you’re prettier than any other tragedy i know about
