Keep Sweet

I let it die in a heat wave

I see a passage in my mind
Where crooked teeth and hungry eyes
Cannot latch onto me when I walk alone
But violent little pieces hide like honey bees inside their hive
Insidious, they rot alive and I know they follow me like a ghost

I always knew there was a reason
My innocence was a keepsake worn around my neck
Shake my head till I see straight
Make my mind so placid, so my body can go easy
You’ll never take that part of me, I felt it die in a heat wave
In a heat wave

Devour little pieces of my heart when you need them
I wanna tear it out now when it’s beating
I wanna watch it bleed out with no feeling
So I keep sweet to keep safe
Temperate in a heat wave
I wanna tear it out now when it’s beating
I wanna watch it bleed out with no feeling

So suddenly it feels like I woke from a dream
And everything that happened to me was a talisman I threw like a stone
You constantly infantilize, passionless in a passive life
Entitlement just to pull out every seam

Devour little pieces of my heart when you need them
I wanna tear it out now when it’s beating
I wanna watch it bleed out with no feeling
So I keep sweet to keep safe
Temperate in a heat wave
I wanna tear it out now when it’s beating
I wanna watch it bleed out with no feeling

I always knew there was a reason my innocence was a keepsake
You’ll never take that part of me, I felt it die in a heat wave

Devour little pieces of my heart when you need them
So I keep sweet to keep safe
Temperate in a heat wave
I wanna tear it out now when it’s beating
I wanna watch it bleed out with no feeling
