lyrics

Like Honey

Baby it's morning; I open my eyes.
Yours are hidden by
your arms, shutting out the light.

Tell me why I am dreaming
a horror movie,
sweating through all the sheets.

I once loved to be lonely:
lay on my back and
spread out my limbs completely.

Now I think of you only,
wear you like a shirt,
wrap your limp arms around me.

I’m so dried up
my blood won’t flow .

You don't like sugar, but I speak sweetly.
I drip like honey—
slowly and sickeningly.

Reel me in while I'm shiny,
realise I'm rotten,
throw me back in to the sea.

I’m so dried up
my blood won’t flow

There’s a bruise on my forehead I do not recall
and the touch of my pillow feels more like the floor.
You look at me sideways; I curl inwards in shame.
There’s distaste in your voice each time you say my name.
