Bait 02:33
You bite the bait I'm casting You dance on the end of one fine wire Don't you know I'll swallow you whole You're treading water like you're lead I blame it on this filthy heart of mine We swim blindly by design Lured by the follies that we hide Should've seen love's anvil artifice I'm treading water like I'm lead I blame it on this filthy heart of mine It's so fetching in its trade It's the blood of which I'm made We're the pawns inside its game I'm the lure, and you're the bait It's so fetching in its trade It's the blood of which I'm made We're the pawns inside its game I'm the lure, and you're the bait You're treading water like you're lead I blame it on this filthy heart of mine (You're treading water like you're lead I blame it on this filthy heart of mine) I'm treading water like I'm lead I blame it on this filthy heart of mine (I'm treading water like I'm lead I blame it on this filthy heart of mine) You're treading water like you're lead I blame it on this filthy heart of mine (You're treading water like you're lead I blame it on this filthy heart of mine) I'm treading water like I'm lead I blame it on this filthy heart of mine (I'm treading water like I'm lead I blame it on this filthy heart of mine)

Whiskeyblood 03:05
Buttoning my ribs in like a birdcage to my pride Hiding flutter-bombs inside a thick bulletproof hide Oh this whiskeyblood of mine It's got me crawling out my skin at night I've got a fever from our lips on mine Let's get this clear i'm gonna make you mine Loosening my lips but got me choking on my tongue Baby I don't mind it if you watch me come undone Oh this whiskeyblood of mine It's got me calling out your name at night I've got a fever from our lips on mine Let's get this clear i'm gonna make you mine Come on now make me simmer Whiskeyblood-flint in my veins It drowns me like a river And you are like kerosene Come on now make me simmer Whiskeyblood-flint in my veins It drowns me like a river And you are like kerosene I've got a fever from our lips on mine Let's get this clear i'm gonna make you mine

The Folly 02:46
Is it me or is it crowded in here My skin feels tight like I wear the weight of the room A fool is she who gapes her mouth and her heart falls out Is it me or is the air getting thick I mean my tongue feels tied like an animal caged behind my teeth A fool is she who gapes her mouth and her heart falls out A fool is she who gapes her mouth and her heart falls out A fool is she who gapes her mouth and her heart falls out A fool is she who gapes her mouth and her heart falls out A fool is she who gapes her mouth and her heart falls out

Red Handed 03:11
My skin is as thick as the sleeve of my shirt No this tapestry won't cover me up 'Cause I feel your dirty hands unstring my spine You do nothing but smile 'cause you don't see the damage of you've done The shape of your grip paints itself on my skin I'm too delicate for anyone to hold The words roll off your tongue like knives to my throat You do nothing but smile 'cause you don't see the damage of you've done What the hell was I thinking Letting you in my bed You left me there hazy as quick as you came Spilling out of your fingers like a warrior's paint Does it make you feel like a man To watch me squirm naked and afraid Been feeling you buzzing around in my brain Just like that my body sets itself on fire When you come around I just choke on your name You do nothing but smile 'cause you don't see the damage of you've done

Last night I dreamt I was swallowed by a beast She wore the same face as me But her name was Angere As the sky opened her eyes Her zephyr stirred up a wave She wrapped around me A vast of blue An echo of of a refrain Last night I dreamt I was swallowed by a beast She wore the same face as me But her name was Angere I was fishing for the reaper Drifting aimless for days She pined for me like a feral siren With embrace like a hurricane And so I descend Into her arrest Her gale howled in my head Made the sky turn her curtain black She rolled up her tides And just like that I was holding the hand of the tempest Last night I dreamt I was swallowed by a beast She wore the same face as me But her name was Angere Her name was Angere Her gale howled in my head Made the sky turn her curtain black She rolled up her tides And just like that I was holding the hand of the tempest

He licked his lips and sealed my debts with kisses like knuckles I'm swallowing fists His hands on my hips I just fold like the sand spilling fast through his finger tips In one fell swoop I was damned by a devil without a horn And I froze as he wrangled A lasso 'round my head It feels so damn good to be tamed Feel his breath down the back of my neck It's electric Like dancing with and open flame In one fell swoop I was damned by a devil without a horn He'll drag me to hell With a wicked look in his eyes like a criminal Won't you take me down Take me down 'Cause it feels so damn good to be tamed Won't you take me down Take me down 'Cause it feels so damn good to be tamed It just feels so damn good to be tamed In one fell swoop I was damned by a devil without a horn He'll drag me to hell With a wicked look in his eyes like a criminal
