lyrics

phased by the moon as it phases through migraines
watch it wrap the ocean's body in waves
she says innocence will fade as you age
but nobody told me how tragedy craves
in the absence of light
I've forgotten my baby's name

some nights I just wish it away
with violet in my eyes and a softened face
with a hunger for life (it's just a matter of time)
before I call it mine

phased by the moon as it phases through migraines
watch it wrap the ocean's body in waves
she says innocence will fade as you age
but nobody told me how tragedy craves
in the absence of light
I remember everything

some part of me clings to a part of me lost
but we both know that it's never enough

she says innocence will fade as you age
but nobody told me that tragedy stays
in the absence of light
i've forgotten my baby's name

she says innocence will fade as you age
now the body awaits (somebody you love was birthed in your pain)
she holds hands with the devil and paints
a portrait named after all your mistakes

nobody told me that tragedy stays
nobody told me
