Loose Limbs
from Brute Neighbors by Terrible Buttons
lyrics
I am the hull that filled with water and sank to the bottom
You are the storm that put me there, and now I wont come up for air
I am another feigning death-wish, I do it for the attention
Now your eyes on me will dwell 'til again they're somewhere else
If I could grind you in my tea like all those wilted leaves
I'd sip at it slow, savor your mediocrity
Holding the cup between my knees i see your visage in the steam
Checking your hair in the glass, good to see you haven't lost your vanity
At least you're pretty, as I pour you out
At least you're pretty, I guess that's something
You are the teeth that tear my skin just to see what's under it
You are the deadliest of sins that I can't help but commit
Your winds are so strong, my hull is so weak
maybe it's calm underneath
He raised his hands and calmed the sea
But he's not sailing with me
I am the hull that filled with water and sank to the bottom
You are the storm that put me there, and now I wont come up for air
I am the archetype of failure, killing off my savior
You are not my cross to bear, maybe in ten or twenty years
Hang your ex-lovers by a noose
Swing them back and forth until their limbs are loose
any love, any lover will do
As long as stray eyes stay fixed on you
You are the storm that put me there, and now I wont come up for air
I am another feigning death-wish, I do it for the attention
Now your eyes on me will dwell 'til again they're somewhere else
If I could grind you in my tea like all those wilted leaves
I'd sip at it slow, savor your mediocrity
Holding the cup between my knees i see your visage in the steam
Checking your hair in the glass, good to see you haven't lost your vanity
At least you're pretty, as I pour you out
At least you're pretty, I guess that's something
You are the teeth that tear my skin just to see what's under it
You are the deadliest of sins that I can't help but commit
Your winds are so strong, my hull is so weak
maybe it's calm underneath
He raised his hands and calmed the sea
But he's not sailing with me
I am the hull that filled with water and sank to the bottom
You are the storm that put me there, and now I wont come up for air
I am the archetype of failure, killing off my savior
You are not my cross to bear, maybe in ten or twenty years
Hang your ex-lovers by a noose
Swing them back and forth until their limbs are loose
any love, any lover will do
As long as stray eyes stay fixed on you
