"picking petals" lyrics

"picking petals"

The white walls, they scare me
The blank space on my knees
I stare at the ceiling
While trying to get you
To agree this feeling is dehumanizing
We're all wondering why
Everything is moving west
And the wind is blowing south

I'm picking petals with my teeth
Don't know what I'm supposed to think about it
Trying anything, I'll consume the bottle from the rabbit
Never met him once, but I'll give him all my trust
When he says "follow me" to where my mom wouldn't want me to be

And I'm stuck on you, but I can't stay here anymore
I don't get you, but I get why you are the way you are
And when I needed you, you thought best was to leave
But when you needed help, I told you to call me
And baby, you begged me to stay by your side
But when we're done fucking, you're not satisfied
And you know you can't hunt with an unloaded gun
But you shoot and you fire and you hit more than once
Like a voice breaking glass, you break through my skin
'Cause when you pull the trigger, you know you won't miss

I'm picking petals with my teeth
Don't know what I'm supposed to think about it
Trying anything, I'll consume the bottle from the rabbit
Never met him once, so give him all my trust
When he says "follow me" to where my mom wouldn't want me to be

And it goes over again, over again
Over again, over again
Oh, it's over again, over again
Over again, over again
We go over again, over again
Over again, over again, no
Oh, oh

And I would burn to feel you touching me
I'd burn to feel you more
I don't want this, I don't want you
This is nothing I prayed for
And the burn, it turned to anger
And the anger turned to bleed
I'm forever a sinner while I tried to stay clean
You know that you like what you're doing to me
It makes you feel good, but you're just so dirty

I'm picking petals with my teeth
Don't know what I'm supposed to think about it
Trying anything, I'll consume the bottle from the rabbit
Never met him once, so give him all my trust
When he says "follow me" to where my mom wouldn't want me to be

(To where my mom wouldn't want me to be)
