Nocturnal Animal Songtext
von runforrest

Babe I′ve been cheated
A few times before
I've been mistreated and
I′ve been ignored

But I'm getting tired
Cause all that I do
Is slipping through yesterday's
Versions of you

A flashback of what two
Made their paradise
Now vanished in this
Baneful haze of your lies

Had our romance faced
Just a single odd
You would′ve silently
Slit my throat to watch the blood


Running so quietly down my chest
Maybe I′m crazy, but
The thought that you'd hurt me
Could give me no rest

And I have held sacred
Your ruby lips
That tasted of wine
I had longed to be sipping

And even if reason
Was beached at the shore
My heart would still drown
In the sea of pride of having you

You think your notions
Can do me no harm
All you intend is
As pure as the water that′s there

In a glass that's right next to a bottle of gin
While you′re with another
I'll drink it all up
And drown in


I′d be a beggar
I'd be a thief
I could be all that
You'd want me to be

And I′d have my face crushed
Under your heels
If for a moment
You were true to me
