We Only Know Intentions Lyrics by Alice Marie

Eat the Rude

2013

It hits, sour at the back of your throat
And it's another word that you can't say
Like a distant lover leaving vague scribbled notes
Before inevitably running away
It sounds, a call in the dead of night
Through the mist and dark and the rain
It's the blood singing, and taking flight
To form a family of connected stains
And you know you can never sit there
But you can feel all you like about the past
And you know that you never can’t care
You know what you want, but you don’t dare ask
'Respect', a word you don't dare use
And you can add it to your growing list
As for paternity and mentality, you choose
Take it back with a cold clenched fist
But it hits, stinging just behind your eyes
For the lost boys down in thе dark
Like another soul of you, in another timе
With a very different, still-broken heart
And you know you can never sit there
But you can feel all you like about the past
And you can know that you never can't care
You know what you want, but you don't dare ask
Because that is something very very strange
Oh, it's as strange as you ever might feel?
'Cause she's there and you don't think she understands
That you could need each other to heal
But it hits, stinging just behind your eyes
For the lost boys down in the dark
Like another soul of you, in another time
With a very different, still-broken heart
It sounds, a call in the dead of night
Through the mist and dark and the rain
It’s the blood singing, and taking flight
To form a family of connected stains
