green light glow, with my face against your chest
naked and being, i hear every tremor
of your lips, tongue, teeth
and quiet
choke on fear
he asks me how i feel, and i don't know
i'm so uncertain in this skin
and i keep breathing
i don't wanna let go
white knuckles with black nails
i'm gonna run right backwards to you
until i find the light
and we've never quite found the trust
and i've done this so many times
i'm a selfish little cunt, you think i'd learn my lesson
and i'd shut my fucking mouth
i'm going to fuck myself so that i can feel
and i promise i won't take it for granted
