Archaic Convent

from Archaic Convent by A Flower in Disguise

lyrics

I give in, unfulfilled
Let the hunger kill
Discomfort be still, discomfort be still
You laugh when I cry, accepting shame
Admitting it’s engrained
Take the name, pondering a body’s sigh
The poet has arrived in ecstasy
I had to let god go
I asked for too much

A pity she cried, skin to hide
No touch feels right
The things you hide, among the hidden
Among the lies, lies
A pity he could love me
I don’t know what to show
A pity she cried, move me
Looking for validation from the sky
Heart exploits you
Happiness indebted to my guilt
You make me feel needy
Oh Holy avenue
All the eyes follow you
All the eyes talk to you

Wearing the world on me
This body as a consequence, marked reticence
By design lonely in line for wings
Living on my knees, wincing when I breath
The time dictates me, the walls shape me
So, I give you my deprivation

A feeble body is an archaic convent
Stained glass is law if you’re scarred enough
I work not to squander a single tear or burden a body near
I gut myself and savor the commodity
I had to let go of god, I had asked too much

A pity she cried, skin to hide
The things you hide, among the hidden
Among the lies
A pity he could love me
I don’t know what to show
A pity she cried, move me
Looking for validation from the sky
Heart exploits you
Happiness indebted to my guilt
You make me feel needy
Oh holy avenue
All the eyes follow you
All the eyes talk to you

But until then all words ending like the last
Holding my own alone
But I’m banking on the clouds
Morning dew ain’t left ooh
Heaven is overdue
Coming down
Every word is the title
Stands alone like the one at the end
But until then all words ending like the last
Holding my own alone
But I’m banking on the clouds
But I’m banking on the clouds
Coming down
