lyrics

Stop hiding your scars, dear, and I'll stop hating my crooked teeth.
Stop forgetting how smart you are and I'll stop forgetting to eat.
Stop the way that we crawl, waiting for them to call, babe fuck them all.

Stop flying the body into the glass, needing the flask, humping the past.
I'll stop failing to trust, denying the lust, feeding on rust.
Stop the snow in our hearts, the way that it starts, the falling apart.

Let's stop being us, but not become them.

Stop loving the mean, wanting so bad to be seen, buying the dream.
I'll stop most of the doubt, refusing to shout, stop hiding your heels when you go out.
Stop breathing exhaust, making a fetish of loss, heeding the boss.
Stop refusing to digress, refusing to undress, refusing the mess.
Stop leaving.

Let's stop being us, but not become them.

Stop avoiding the sweet, hiding beneath, a boyish grief.
