Innocent​/​Bittersweet

from Nemesis by A Flower in Disguise

/

lyrics

It was meant to be innocent
It was meant to be love
Hiccupped a gentle lover
Dormant I wake to feel the ache
How to embrace a hallow body
I need it to be sweet, sweet as a nail in coffin
Please, please
A touch like surgery still recovering

I’m running off fumes of smothered emotion, devotion
I told the ache not to show it’s face, then it stole mine, mine
It’s hard to rule a body’s that never home

Rocked gently nursing shared sorrows
Enthralled with your tenderness
No need to cry over spilt milk
I’ve fallen for your rotten fruit
Bite for the bruise
I aim to soothe
Oh, I fawn for your malady
But your presence is so imposing

Frustration filling me with destruction
Ripping and ripping, pinching and pulling
At my skin

It was meant to be innocent
It was meant to be love
Calling to you
Calling to you
Dormant I wake to feel the ache
How to embrace a hallow body
I need it to be sweet, sweet as a nail in coffin
Please, please
A touch like surgery still recovering

I’m running off fumes of smothered emotion, devotion
I told the ache not to show it’s face, then it stole mine, mine
It’s hard to rule a body’s that never home

Pouring my heart out
Burning with the sun out
I don’t ask you to be there for me
Tomorrow might not be here for you to return to me
Choking on despondency
A laughter rooted in melancholy
Loving you is practice
Loving you is therapy
I know you won’t be there for me

Emotions fly by night
So, we silently agree
Poised carefully, threatening to break
Rapt the moon full as the room
Itching to ache
Piques your curiosity
Only full to fall in tears

Rocked gently nursing shared sorrows
Enthralled with your tenderness
No need to cry over spilt milk
I’ve fallen for your rotten fruit
Bite for the bruise
I aim to soothe
Oh, I fawn for your malady
But your presence is so imposing

Ripping and ripping, pinching and pulling
At my skin
It was meant to be innocent
I need it to be sweet, sweet as a nail in coffin
Please, please
A touch like surgery still recovering
