about

This is a live demo. Imagination is needed to appreciate what this song could be at its full potential. A studio version is forthcoming.

lyrics

He was nothing but a throw back on a razor blade
precious not unlike the gold trimming of a picture frame
Though it took him no time to apply the lamb’s blood on my door
Secretly I did wish that he’d stop and talk until the dawn

I want to tell you
He was at large
I want to tell you
That his face broke my heart

He was nothing but the pull clip of a hand grenade
And the coziness of his last bed it had to be dug by a spade
Since he never called me back, I have no choice but to forever mourn
Though it took him no time to apply the lamb’s blood on my door

I want to tell you
He was at large.
I want to tell you
That his voice broke my heart
It broke my heart
I’m defeated, I’m defeated.
