Kae Tempest - Thirsty lyrics

[Kae Tempest - Thirsty lyrics]

I came to under a red moon thirsty for water
My eyes were like shovels in
The soil of the sky
Digging in to the night to find solace
Burying emptiness i was heart-broken
Vomiting memories
Because I'd promised her everything
Then I did what I could
Not to recognise anything so, here I was
Marching the town like a priest in my rapture
Muttering spells so desperate for tenderness
So raw from the grating of senses
The way the day drinks every
Drop of my strength it's relentless
I was digging out pence for
A length of bad whisky me and my friends
Or at least the others who slumped at
The bar without peace
They embrace me as kindred, but
Something is missing
So, I was sat there at the bar


With my forehead on my wrist
Thinking I had given all I had in me to give
When I saw her
Cross the floor like a firework
Exploding in slow motion
She touched me on the shoulder
And I started to live but I wasn't ready yet
I wanted sucker punch and numbness
The chase and the conquest
Of dating by numbers
The safety of keeping my distance and feeding
My hungers she spoke of a truth that
I could not confront and she offered a peace
That my war didn't want
Because I liked being fangs and destruction
Suction and froth and dysfunction
I was dreaming talking too much with my
Friends in the evenings
I laughed very loud as if
I was extremely happy you should've seen me
Now, I knew she sensed a glory
I could feel it in the
Way that I was standing
Two feet taller, like I'd never been afraid
I didn't want her to know I
Wasn't everything she saw in me
We walked each other home and didn't kiss
We walked each other home and
