Counterparts - Selfishly I Sink lyrics

Bred to feel an unfamiliar touch
Lust begins and ends with both of us
Keep me close, drag me down
In the wake of shallow waves you leave
Fill the void like fingers in my mouth
Spread slowly like a plague
I’ve invited into me
Emotions cast like stones skipped
Across empty lakes and selfishly I sink

Absence of affection
Not worth the cancer I have caused
Sever the ties to keep
From stringing this along keep me close
Suspended just out of arms reach
No vacant pair of wings were
Ever fit to hold me
Keep me close in the wake
Of shallow waves you leave
The water left me filthy but
Somehow you’re completely clean
Cure your rust from within
No desire lives past
Dawn…nocturnal by default speak softly
Drive a nail through both of
My lips if you must
We whisper as a metaphor for trust
Selfishly I sink
