Lyrics

Z lyrics

Your scent is like
The spices in the dust
I grew up in
Sandalwood and honey

You feel safer in the shallows,
Clinging to the edges
While I strike for deeper water
The heart of my existence

You will only love me
When my back is turned
I seek asylum
Z
You will only love me
When my back is turned

Curves and curses
sweat and silence
Relief's a pretty piece of fiction
The cool pale silk of your hands
A careless benediction

I was raised a sacrificial lamb,
after you
I don't know who I am
Nails in my feet, thorns in my hands
I pray for water
You bring burning sand
