Cold Shoulder Lyrics by Empty Atlas

Hestia

2016

I want to find your weakness and put it to good use
Wield words that can swivel your neck, sweet enough to make you swoon
Hey, I see you’re without company. It don’t have to stay that way
I want to make you love me from the second that I say

“Be my soft shoulder. Be my kind eyes
Kindly look me over. There must be something that you like.”

My eyes are too tired to play this game all night
You put a finger to my lips, and I don’t feel right
I got too much to say in too little time
So I won’t follow you home just ‘cause you ask nice

This love only thrives for a season
It’s a quick, hedonistic exchange
I need more than a warm bed in winter
Getting cold and coarse when conditions change

I need my soft shoulder. Be my kind eyes
Kindly look me over. There must be something that you like
Inside my soft shoulder, in my kind eyes
Kindly look me over. There must be something that you like

Feed my cold shoulder. Just turn my blind eye
Unkindly overlook me, like I’m deserving of your spite
‘Cause it’s a flash in the pan when I want to feel Pompeii
Cutting clean across my country every time you speak my name

Be my soft shoulder. Be my kind eyes
Kindly look me over. There must be something that you like
Inside my soft shoulder, in my kind eyes
Kindly look me over. There must be something that you like

I can’t keep carrying on like this, but I’ll go on

Hestia, I can’t find you. Is this home?
Hestia, I’m beside myself for you
