Nocturnal Animal Lyrics by Runforrest

Romance EP

2019

Babe, I'd been cheated
A few times before
I'd been mistreated and
I'd been ignored
But I'm getting tired
'Cause all that I do
Is slipping through yesterday's
Versions of you
A flashback of what two
Made their paradise
Now vanished in that
Baneful haze of your lies
Had our romance faced
Just a single odd
You would've silently
Slit my throat to watch the blood
Running so quietly down my chest
Maybe I'm crazy, but
The thought that you'd hurt me
Could give me no rest
And I've held sacred
Your ruby lips
That tasted of wine
I longed to be sipping
And even if reason
Was beached on the shore
My heart would've drowned
In the sea of pride of having you
You think your notions
Can do me no harm
All you intend is
As pure as the water that's there...
...In a glass that's right next to
A bottle of gin
While you're with another
I'll drink it all up and drown in
And I'd be a beggar, I'd be a thief
I could be all that you'd want me to be
I'd have my face crushed under your heels
If for a moment you were true to me
I'd be a beggar, I'd be a thief
I could be all that you'd want me to be
I'd have my face crushed under your heels
If for a moment you were true to me
