August Forever Lyrics by ​swanskin

boymoder

2024

[Intro]
Be not afraid
Salvation waits
Be not afraid
[Verse 1]
Sweat pools in a coffee cup
The heat seeps its way indoors
Outside, her clothes stick to her skin
Like a clinging lover she can't stand anymore
She wakes with a start most nights
Dry mouth, his voice still in her ears
Haunted by a guiding light
Whispers of a place far from here
[Pre-Chorus]
There must be something wrong with her
Lurking just beneath the skin
Self-inflicted prophecy
(She's picking at her wounds again)
[Chorus]
Foul vines stretch their arms for miles
Covering the highways outside town
Swallowing the summer rains
Cyclical misunderstandings
[Verse 2]
Sip slow from a wishing well
Tiptoe when you walk through hell
If I could hear you
Why would you be asking?
Get low when the drums come in
Go home, peel off your skin
If I could hear you
Why would you be asking?
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I just wanna feel like myself when I wear a t-shirt
Wanna feel like myself without putting on a skirt
Only like how I look when I'm drunk and I'm crying
Mascara running down, mycelium from my eyes
[Bridge]
I can’t wait to feel like myself
I can’t wait to feel like me
[Pre-Chorus]
There must be something wrong with her
Lurking just beneath the skin
Self-inflicted prophecy
(She’s picking at her wounds again)
[Chorus]
Foul vines stretch their arms for miles
Covering the highways outside town
Swallowing the summer rains
Cyclical misunderstandings
