The Horrors - Little Victories lyrics
[The Horrors - Little Victories lyrics]
I press your hand in mine however cautiously
I keep a smile right to myself
And I lapse into the grasp
Of an overriding obsession
And I get sick as I watch
My interests fall into suspension
This winter so cold, Creeping down your arm
Stealth soldiers, Creeping around your palm
It's so hard, hard to understand
Little victories won creeping
Around your hand
The sickness has taken hold through violent
Blurted syllables
Escape my mouth under my breath
The voice of pricking dread is
Whispering insistent in my ear
My paranoia galvanized by your gaze
So austere
I pinned your crest to my chest
Hoping it might start to look right
There was hushed talk of young boy's corpse
Lying face down in some river
His hands used to move like mine
I can't stand myself this morning
I am practically that boy
No strength to endure, Ghostly insecure
Pallid through lack of choice
Creeping around your hand
I keep a smile right to myself
And I lapse into the grasp
Of an overriding obsession
And I get sick as I watch
My interests fall into suspension
This winter so cold, Creeping down your arm
Stealth soldiers, Creeping around your palm
It's so hard, hard to understand
Little victories won creeping
Around your hand
The sickness has taken hold through violent
Blurted syllables
Escape my mouth under my breath
The voice of pricking dread is
Whispering insistent in my ear
My paranoia galvanized by your gaze
So austere
I pinned your crest to my chest
Hoping it might start to look right
There was hushed talk of young boy's corpse
Lying face down in some river
His hands used to move like mine
I can't stand myself this morning
I am practically that boy
No strength to endure, Ghostly insecure
Pallid through lack of choice
Creeping around your hand
