Lyrics

Ephemeral Artery

[Verse 1]

Seeming stripped of all the faults that you've assessed

You're possessed

To impress

Jilted facades are a losing game at best

Your shadowed face

Scattered hands

Timid shrugs still displaced

[Chorus]

Let it spill onto the street

Either way we're incomplete (ah)

You know it doesn't hurt to cheat

Hurt to cheat

Hurt to cheat

Hurt to cheat

Hurt to cheat (ah)

[Verse 2]

Broken mirror shards laid out and rearranged

Still the same

Just reframed

Inverse reflection you're expecting to receive

But whom you seek

Doesn't ring

Any bells so to speak

[Chorus]

Let it spill onto the street

Either way we're incomplete (ah)

You know it doesn't hurt to cheat

Hurt to cheat

Hurt to cheat

Hurt to cheat

Hurt to cheat (ah)

[Outro]

Let it spill onto the street

Either way we're incomplete (ah)

And I'd rather be obsolete

Than complete

Than complete

Than complete

Than complete

Than complete
