lyrics

sweat is rollin' down my forehead in this cinema space
we've never met, but I recognise the pain written on your face
singing your story, knuckle to the nose, too easy to fall in love
I need to find closure, don't wanna be alone, but I’m scared that I’m not enough

turning on the air con, just for a minute, filling 40 pairs of lungs
a cocktail of pheromones spillin' from the glands,
and I shape your name with my tongue
it ain't a mistake if you wanna repeat it,
it ain't a mistake if you wanna repeat it
love isn't a game, but so many play it, no wonder why we're all so jaded

a couple days later, flippin' through the paper
lookin' for some part time jobs
I see they need an undertaker, an empathetic griever
to help another through their loss
too many treat the dead as if they're headed to a better place
as if we are rewarded for doin' what we're ordered
from the cradle to the grave
from the cradle to the grave

I wanna hurt
I wanna hurt the one that hurt you
