lyrics

When I touch you, your skin melts into mine
It pours into me like mercury
Orange halo, you torrential sky
does it have to take my life for you just to stay tonight?

Tangerine
with all of your precious saliva and tasty dreams
I want to feel sticky
I want to feel baited
I want to move swiftly towards the cliff's edge

If we let go, we'll be smashed along the earth
We'll tumble and break, it would be a mistake
But I want to be fearless, and not a grasping thread
and float along by half a thousand meters high

Let me please
show up to the judgement will all of my faculties
I've been a creator
with sympathy on my lips
Please let me pass through without looking at my sins

Inside we could be folding blankets of the ocean
while superimposing our raw lives exposing
onto a bristling vessel of symmetry
but the gingivitis feels so good on my teeth
