Lover Lyrics by Knifeplay

Pearlty

2019

[Verse 1]
Honey and I are in love
He taught me to play through the pain
We met when we were growing up
And making mistakes

[Verse 2]
He smiles so nice
He gets drunk at night
Honey comes home his fist is closed
He does whatever he likes

[Bridge: Aileen Wuornos]
Deputy sheriff with decoys picking me up four or five months before my arrest?
It was covered up
And the cops, and the system
A raped woman got еxecuted, it was used for books and moviеs and shit Ladder climbs or election, everything else
You're inhumane, you're an inhumane bunch of fuckin' livin' bastards and bitches
And you're gonna get your asses nuked in the end, and pretty soon it's comin'
You don't take fuckin' human life like this
And just sabotage it and rip it apart, like Jesus on the cross
And say 'thanks a lot for all the fuckin' money I made off of ya'

[Chorus]
The more you chase me the more I'm gonna run
And when you hit me I'll just do what you've done
You feel power playing this game
But you're just people
We're always the same

[Verse 3]
No one can save him
He’s so sweet when he lies
He says
“Death's the cure for emptiness, and nothing is the light”
