Lyrics

Black Candy

[Verse 1]

Short breaths, our living death

You take me for a ride

Mouth shut, all blood and guts and social suicide

Why don't you go, pretense in tow?

We'll be alright

Eyes wide, good looks preside

You take me for a ride

[Chorus]

We ascend hand in hand

I toss and turn, you understand

And we learn to synchronize

Tirade provoke and inside jokes

And you just go

[Verse 2]

Moonlight pours in tonight and you are infinite

We squeeze out dark disease, ex-boyfriend jealousy

Then you take off, your name aloft

We'll be alright

Fair weather friends forever and I'll just wait in line

[Chorus]

We ascend hand in hand

I toss and turn, you understand

And we learn to synchronize

Tirade provoke and inside jokes

And you just go

[Outro]

Skinned knees, Christmas Eve

It meant everything

Train tracks, we sit back

Watch it atrophy

Skinned knees, Christmas Eve

It meant everything

Train tracks, we sit back

Watch it atrophy
