I assume too much
The one whose touch could peel my skin
Back to reveal the weary organ held within
Vaingloria crumbles to dust
The longest tooth chews up and swallows
Every morsel of our youth
Vestigial hearts wither unused
Still secrete what was consumed
I won't lie, I wanna lie with you
I won't lie, I wanna lie with you
I won't lie, I wanna lie with you
With you
I assuage my guilt
All the blood I've spilt, the collateral
Damage is done, you may find me
Not so admirable and undesireable
Vestigial hearts wither unused
Still secrete what was consumed
I won't lie, I wanna lie with you
I won't lie, I wanna lie with you
I won't lie, I wanna lie with you
With you
