Lyrics
V1:
Her poison dries your bones
grinds them down to dust
that she feeds you
in doses of her choosing
the high of leading on
the primal urge to wring you
of your will to feel
all while she knows she's losing
What she's losing
Burn the trees before they string you
Drain the rivers or they'll sink you down
CH:
She's your pseudo
She's your pseudo
She's your pseudo shadow
Lifeless on the ground
V2:
Dreaming wrapped in arms
of a solitary sanctuary
She thinks the urge draws
her to the ground
You know that you can't hold her
despite the times you told her
you both chasing dreams
that'll never come around
Burn the trees before they string you
Drain the rivers or they'll sink you down
REPEAT CHORUS
V3:
Both fight for what you need
From your separate islands
The gulf between you
here inside this room
Her poison dries your bones
grinds them down to dust
that she'll feed you
anyway you chose
REPEAT CHORUS
