lyrics

It came together right under her nose
they wrapped a pretty veil around her eyes
the world felt cool and strong under her toes

Build yourself in your bones cuz the rest degrades
they'll only love you till your intensity fades

Come taste there's none better than theirs
you'll love the frequent turns and stares
our days are numbered by our shadows
they'll love that pretty head
and they'll drag that pretty head to the gallows

Draped in a dress that stalks her skin
she threw her beauty in a wishing well never to be seen again
Now the world felt cold and heavy on her neck

Build yourself in your bones cuz the rest degrades
they'll only love you till your intensity fades

Come taste there's none better than theirs
you'll love the frequent turns and stares
our days are numbered by our shadows
they'll love that pretty head
and they'll drag that pretty head to the gallows

Everything is breaking down in spades
my ties to you are razor thin these days
a space to place our old regrets
a way to repay last night's debts

Come taste there's none better than theirs
you'll love the frequent turns and stares
our days are numbered by our shadows
they'll love that pretty head
and they'll drag that pretty head to the gallows
