Template:Collapse top

We lust for honeysuckle
Strangers
Life's trawl pages
Pick thin thing
Tempted by the naked eye
Morning sunrise

I want air
Need it like a supplicant

Darkened skin
Afraid to see
Radiate open lips
Keep smiling for me

Darkened skin
Afraid to see
Radiate open lips
Keep smiling for me

We lust called honeysuckle
Let's get freckles
I can't take
Tranquilize
On my lips
Under your feet
