Black Confetti

Leave the car right at the front,
So we got the street lights pouring inside,
So i can see me cross your kind, with something you might like,
But not tonight.
You are sharpening your tongue,
Cutting your words,
Getting it done.
But we are premeditated,
So dont say anything we’ve done.
When it started going south,
You were slow,
You were heavy,
Not making a sound.
Black confetti from your mouth,
No truth to be found,
You had clouded it out.
But thats just it,
A shooting star,
Here for a moment,
Rasing the bar.
I saw us flash across a black background before you got out of my car.
We don’t lie with the lovers,
We drop our eyes,
Slow hands that move undercovers.
Tell me you’re mine
I never thought i could ruin your life,
I just knew that you were my line
(Bare in mind, there were signs)
(Bare in mind, there were signs from the start)
(Bare in mind, there were signs)
(Bare in mind)
I’m the quick sand in your head.
In love with the parasite,
Spreading regret.
Cellophane over your eyes,
Green on you phone screen,
But blue goodbyes.
Break the steam across the mirror,
Show me your face,
Tell me your wants.
You are locked on me unconsciously,
dragging your thunb across your thoart
We don’t lie with the lovers,
We drop our eyes,
Slow hands that move undercovers.
Tell me you’re mine.
I never thought youd actually leave at
4am, with nothing left in the passenger seat.
If i knew what would happen,
Maybe i could stop the pattern.
(Bare in mind, there were signs from the start)
If i knew what you were thinking,
Maybe i could stop you sinking
(Bare in mind, there were signs from the start)
I never thought of anyone but myself,
I am sick,
I am sorry,
I am just dust on a shelf
I am waiting on your photos,
On the things you can’t reach,
You can wipe me away,
If you leave the shelf clean.
There were signs.
