Consumption Lyrics by Waxwane

2019

[Verse]
When I eat my heart out
I might die of consumption
The words are reflexive, the feelings are constant
I’ve been afraid, but I’m learning to love it
Tension’s an art that I’m studying
I think in wildfires, not in the flames
I see in ruby, no rose in the frames
I’m one to skid through every lane
Battered and bruised but I’m chasing the pain

[Hook]
I see danger, I see warmth in your illuminated eyes
I’ve been working on restraint, but I’m still selfish by design
Play the diplomat in public, still a soldier in my mind
I could risk my life for love, there would be much worse ways to die

[Verse]
When I eat my heart out
I might die of consumption
Oxygen fades when I’m trying to rush it
I might constrict all that I claim to love and
Wind up alone in the moment
I think in wildfires not in the flames
I see in ruby, no rose in the frames
I’m one to grip what can’t be sustained
'Cause I can’t bear to waste it

[Hook]
I see danger, I see warmth in your illuminated eyes
I’ve been working on restraint, but I’m still selfish by design
Play the diplomat in public, still a soldier in my mind
I could risk my life for love, there would be much worse ways to die
