lyrics

it isn't hard to leave marks on skin
it's so much harder to leave them within
you know I wanted to leave them in you too
you told me I'm the one that you've been waiting for
so many words and I always want more
getting sick, choking on your cigarette love

but wait for me, just wait
I'll catch my breath someday

so much for the second wind, so much for everything
three cheers for lonely love and an audience of one
it's the silence after the shot
did you leave the damage or not?
loving you is like looking down the barrel of a smoking gun
and I do it for fun

never mind the way you looked at me before
though I'd like to see it come around once more
burning with abandon, warming up my heart
now you play with the dogs, and when you look at me
I see the same expression, and the truth hits
I'm just a plaything, not someone you would miss

but wait for me, just wait
I'll catch my breath someday
and be enough to keep you from walking away

so much for summer love, so much for wanting us
three cheers from my deepest heart, your audience of one
it's the silence after the shot
did you leave the damage or not?
loving you is like looking down the barrel of a smoking gun
and I do it for fun, something is very wrong with me

better not miss a moment
the moment that'll soon be gone
tell you every piece is broken
that'll give you a bit of fun
never ask what I'm holding
I did it all for love
my heart might be breaking
but that's what I want
I promise it's what I want
you left your mark within
burns that smell like sin
but wait for me, just wait
I'll catch my breath someday

so much for the second wind, so much for everything
three cheers for lonely love and an audience of one
it's the silence after the shot
did you leave the damage or not?
loving you is like looking down the barrel of a smoking gun
and I do it for fun
I do it for fun, I did it all for fun

I make a somewhat messy chimera of bedroom pop/chamber pop/alternative/folktronica. Hope it makes you feel something. I also make music with my sibling under the name Charlemagne's Angels, check us out!
