Tenterhooks Songtext
von Birdeatsbaby

Waste my time and suffer this
Weight of envy, weakened bliss
All strung out under these eyes
Captive by my own device
Heaven speaks a different tongue
Your distiller in undone
Tastes like sulfur, tastes of soot
Hanging by these hands, her roots

Drag me up from underdust
Shake me, wake me up to just pull me back under

My wishful thinking
Head on a plate for a stranger
I′ve said too much
I'm rolling in sickness
I dragged you up into this loss
We must face the thunder


You can′t see the woods for the trees
You can't see the woods for the trees
The bitch was all over me
You've got me hanging by tenterhooks
You′ve got me hanging by tenterhooks

Leave your scars, I want you to
Creep the line, the edge of you
I will beg for what you took
Hanging by these hands, her roots

Drag me up from underdust
Shake me, wake me up to just pull me back under

My wishful thinking
Head on a plate for a stranger
I′ve said too much
I'm rolling in sickness
I dragged you up into this loss
We must face the thunder

You can′t see the woods for the trees
You can't see the woods for the trees
The bitch was all over me
You′ve got me hanging by tenterhooks
You've got me hanging by tenterhooks
