[Verse 1]

You crush a delicate moth wing

I see the stain on your fingertips

As if the body was absent

As if the flame was a sycophant

And now I carry you with me

Wrapped in my thoughts like a spiderweb

I let your words get the best of me

An unconditional relevance


[Pre-Chorus]

Digested

Spit out and then

Misdirect

This bitter end


[Chorus]

You wrap me up like silk in the strings that pluck me to feed

I escape, but I carry you with me

Harvest and bring a yield sickening

A mistake, but I carry you with me

Cut Byzantine, so brilliant

Fade 'cause it's all temporary

Silk in the strings that pluck me to feed

Escape, I carry you with me


[Verse 2]

Eyes shining in the dark

Like crystal pools

I can hear your heart

Disgusting

Fade from me


[Chorus]

You wrap me up like silk in the strings that pluck me to feed

I escape, but I carry you with me

Harvest and bring a yield sickening

A mistake, but I carry you with me

Cut Byzantine, so brilliant

Fade 'cause it's all temporary

Silk in the strings that pluck me to feed

Escape, I carry you with me


[Outro]

You wrap me up like silk in the strings that pluck me to feed

I escape, but I carry you with me

Silk in the strings that pluck me to feed

I escape, but I carry you with me
