149 Lyrics by HMLTD

West of Eden

2020

[Verse 1]
Confession 149
The incidents of 12th July
I’ve played them over in my mind
I wake screaming in my cell each night
Swear to God it weren’t my fault
I been schizo since the day Luella threw
Her engagement rings in the water
And issued her restraining orders

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you need it?
Do you want it?
Now you got it
What you waiting for?

[Chorus 1: Tallulah Eden]
Oh no don’t tell me I got the wrong idea
I built an image you can’t live up to
I think I’m falling in love with what I fear
I’m just in love with the fiction of you

[Verse 2]
In the Chrysanthemum hotel
I wrote her name on every page
Of the Holy Bible and the Psalms
But I didn’t learn a fucking thing
So I took a drop of Methadone
And took a taxi to our home
I split the blood of our firstborn
And painted him across your door

[Chorus 1: Tallulah Eden]
Oh no don’t tell me I got the wrong idea
I built an image you can’t live up to
I think I’m falling in love with what I fear
I’m just in love with the fiction of you

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 2: Tallulah Eden]
Oh no don’t tell me I got the wrong idea
I built an image you can’t live up to
I think I’ve fallen in love with what I fear
Helsinki syndrome, it creeps up on you
