Lyrics

The High Heat

She wants to die Like people do Shallow clicking Summer was sickening In that room High in the heat A white-hot beehive Well, she was doomed She has a wind To offer the sky She couldn't stop sinking She thought she wasn't thinking She wanted to die She wants to live Like people do She feels like giving It all away All to you
