Devour, and We Shall Become Your Addiction

from Black Owls by Black Owls

/

about

A song about some of our favorite addictions.

lyrics

You feel the pain in your mouth it's an affliction - so
devour, we shall become your addiction
with vocal remedy, in God's hands, it's charming
you're feeling so light and so easy - it's alarming

It's not a remedy indeed it's quite the worse son
It starts out just like a kiss and ends a blinding curse
You cannot see for the fog rolling in your eyes
now all the clamor and glamor, it slowly dies

just take my breath in your hands and release me
our souls have soaked through the skin can't you see
Our reputations mired in this tattletale fiction - but
devour, we shall become your addiction

with seasoning of the lurid devices
intoxicated, we paraded in drag
our permutations come in so many sizes
you can't decide which one to take from the bag

With proper drowning of the secret surprises babe
You recognized us in our tragically poor disguises
I didn't wanna see you strung out and quivering - but
your blood is growing so cold now, you're shivering

Such paradise in the backseat disarmed your armor
this time the poisonous snake it lulled the tired charmer
washed up on chinese rocks where no words are spoken
the connection between your mind and your body, it is broken

the wind has changed to the west and now it's troubling
your nightmares growing tenfold, and now it's doubling
with no prediction of such painful constriction - you
devoured, now we have become your addiction.
