about

This song was the first song we ever wrote vocal parts to. Basically a lock-in with David and Beej writing vocals and Andrew playing the parts over and over. Tiring process, but it works quite well for us. Thank you so much for taking the time to check us out!

lyrics

You let me in two swinging French doors for me.
A rare type of kindness, more like a virus, that is too small to see.
I opened your mind, and your eyes, heart and throat just for jokes
So close your mouth, baby, tongue and cheek
This is the cure for the curse,
You bestowed upon us the day you found earth
A reminder we're mortals lying fucking dying at best
My thirst was not quenched
No, for centuries I've been searching for you
My veins will not rest, no
Until they would have you running through
And now that you're here in my arms your will
I ask of you,
Wish to be turned, and in turn, you will lose your fear
Well, this is the life
You're offering
One of painlessness, yeah, yet misery
Fuck it, you know, you set me free
I suspect we're busted, and fear that they've come wise to our ways
They’ll chase us, and they'll catch us and they'll stake us and they'll hang us in town on display
Let’s run while we can
Oh, at dusk we will make our escape
That’s if by then, baby it is not too…
Baby, oh baby, this bedroom is on fire again
And they’re waiting outside for our heads
Now blessed with the choice to confess or burn to death
