inside and outside

for another night
we'll walk hand in hand
and they'll judge us
until we dry like raisins

darling you're so pretty
inside and outside
i want to rip out your skin
and hug your organs

my love's kind of intense
but it's pretty real
i could say anything to you
but i'll just leave it to this

my dear we're a sin
and you're
the most blinding sunshine
i've ever received

i want to breathe
when you're so close
it's like i'm drowning
i want to breathe

you kill me when you smile
i want to do the same
you strangle me when you breathe
i want to do the same

so we'll keep holding
each other's hands
until we're empty
like helium balloons.
