Contract Killer Lyrics by Temme Scott

A Long Year

2024

I could scare you off
Then I won't have to deal with anything
But if you let me off leash
I'll run until I'm sorry
If I promise that I'm honest
Then I don't have to answer anything
But if you loosen up slack
I'll talk until you're sorry

I pray on pretty words but it's all filler
'Cause two drinks in I'm a contract killer

I wanna stay in your arms
Can't make it bad for me
I wanna ring the alarms
Then cut the cable with my teeth
The ones I lie through
The ones that bite through anything you say to me

If I can play it up
And blame it all on my bad memory
No, I won't write it down
So I don't have to find it
If I dip it all in glitter
Just to stare and watch it shimmer in front of me
But when the lights go soft
I'll beg to be reminded

I said I needed space
Then the space got thinner
'Cause one bad night's like a self-help thriller
And I'm no quitter

I wanna stay in your arms
Can't make it bad for me
I wanna ring the alarms
Then cut the cable with my teeth
The ones I lie through
The ones that bite through anything you say to me

I know better than to lie to you
So I'll say it softly like I usually do
Thumbing through the pages, baby I can't think Am I loving you enough to put it down in ink?
Screaming with conviction 'til the words collapse
Man it always hurts when I break the contract

I wanna stay in your arms
Can't make it bad for me
I wanna ring the alarms
Then cut the cable with my teeth
The ones I lie through
The ones that bite through anything you say to me

I wanna stay in your arms
Can't make it bad for me
I wanna ring the alarms
Then cut the cable with my teeth
The ones I lie through
The ones that bite through anything you say to me
