lyrics

dreaming in fevers and punching on walls
against where the drywall hits the marrow of your skull
and you'll try to stop me with ambulance alarms
but i'm not unwell i'm just going through a lot

hide all the knives, use the scissors just for art
as inch by inch we sleep a little more apart
borders of blankets and tollways of scars
we're always arguing everywhere we are

you were always scared so you stayed inside
i yelled at you, you threatened suicide
i grab the razor and it still cuts your arm
we cry in the shower as I bathe in your blood

your mother calls you and asks if you're well
you lie and say yes then asks how can she tell
given away by the bruises on your mouth
i am not hurt mom, i'm just falling in love
i am not hurt mom, i'm just falling in love
