about
re mixed by Matt Nasir
lyrics
Admire
V1
Desire for this
We don’t give up so easily
A blizzard inside your teeth
Damaged, excuse
Acres of loss are known by us
Smelling the vileness on our heels
Go back, if you want
Chorus
Is love as graceless as it seems?
As they fall for the Spark of newness
But I admire you more than then
Let’s preserve our old ways
Our frail ways
Our fading beauty
Our old ways
Let’s preserve them always
Is love as graceless as it seems?
My skin is softening
V2
Illicit love
Things aren’t the way they ought to be
Your mouth commits itself to me
Sea cold, you’re blue
Stuffed full of tears and foolishness
Come close, if you want
Chorus
Is love as graceless as it seems?
As they fall for the Spark of newness
But I admire you more than then
Let’s preserve our old ways
Our frail ways
Our fading beauty
Our old ways
Let’s preserve them always
Is love as graceless as it seems?
My skin is softening
Outro
The purpose of joy and misery
A sadness, the loneliest
Oh you need a thrill
Subtle but grated on my skin
