"Tasting" lyrics

"Tasting"

Empty conversation with cigarettes and dark sunglasses
Russian girl studying romantics
Just moved in now with her auntie
Now I'm speaking to a face
While she'd distracted by the leather jacket
Who just got off the stage
I feel thoughtless
Do you even care for my-

Empty conversation with cigarettes and dark sunglasses
Russian girl studying romantics
Just moved in now with her auntie
Now I'm speaking to a face
While she'd distracted by the leather jacket
Who just got off the stage
I feel thoughtless
Do you even care for my name?

Leave the bar without telling my friend
I venture out into the cold and play pretend
That my phone's not at 5%
My mind escapes to the comfort it knows best
Taste the thought of the softest lips
I ever knew

I'm a sublet
I'm a dried-up riverbed
I'm a mannequin with no head
I'm a broken reflection
(Do you see me?)
I'm the photograph of you I never took
I'm a pack of Vogues
I'm an uncracked joke
I'm the mirror in your eyes
As we sit beside
This canal at night
You cradle my head
And tell me you want to go to bed
But not alone
So I take you home
But the dream breaks
Get me out of this

Empty conversation

Empty conversation with cigarettes and dark sunglasses (cigarettes)
Russian girl studying romantics
Just moved in now with her auntie
Now I'm speaking to a face
While she'd distracted by the leather jacket (distracted by)
Who just got off the stage
I feel thoughtless
Do you even care for my-

Empty conversation with cigarettes and dark sunglasses
Russian girl studying romantics
Just moved in now with her auntie
Now I'm speaking to a face
While she'd distracted by the leather jacket
Who just got off the stage
I feel thoughtless
Do you even care for my name?
