Sensibilities

from Archaic Convent by A Flower in Disguise

lyrics

Others make a heart feel cheap
Think twice before you speak to me
I’m ashamed they sing my name
It’s hard to believe
Drunk with abstinence
So shallow but a fall could kill
Tell me my mind isn’t ill
Be patient with me
Others make a heart feel cheap
Others make a heart feel cheap
Ruined another beautiful thing
You are the creature
You are the sin
God of everything

It’s not safe to say
All or nothing
Got me scared to breath
All or nothing
Got me scared to breath
Suffered to no end to me
I know where this leads
I cherish what I can
Delicate sensibilities
But care has ruined me
I lost you in love
I gave up myself

Stapled in my mind
In the tiptoe of the quiet
Can you handle me?
Brought my senses to a high
Deep inside
I could go without talking for weeks
My-my delicate sensibilities

It’s not safe to say
Lashed with caution
They sing my name
The error for your eyes another disgrace
Drew the blood to my face
All or nothing
Got me scared to breath
All or nothing
Got me scared to breath
Suffered to no end to me
I know where this leads
I cherish what I can
But care has ruined me
I lost you in love
I gave up myself

Sleeping with angels
Dancing with ghost
Aren’t you dying to know?
Revolted by my own emotion
The thought an act of devotion
Shuttering guilt
Hurdles over bliss

It’s come to this
I break myself to bear it
My arteries still hold you, close
Self-diagnosis
My bed is one of thorns and roses
My bed is one of thorns and roses
Revolted by my own emotion
The thought an act of devotion
Shuttering guilt
Hurdles over bliss
I die slow
When I woke and you aren’t in my arms
The deceit of light and the dark
Endlessly my heart is yours
Open your heart
And watch it burst
Full of empty

Let me steal your breath
The ecstasy of the wound I’ll give it back
Coming to
Sleeping with angels
Dancing with ghost

Stapled in my mind
In the tiptoe of the quiet
Can you handle me?
Brought my senses to a high
Deep inside
I could go without talking for weeks
My-my delicate sensibilities

Others make a heart feel cheap
Scared to hurt again
Suffering to no end
All or nothing
Got me scared to breath
But care has ruined me
I lost you in love
I gave up myself

They don’t know what to do with me
And I agree

Got me scared to breath
But care has ruined me
I lost you in love
I gave up myself
