lyrics

I was leaning on the past...
my love, it will outlast us all -
I know, it goes by fast,
but my dove was never immortal.

And I know you can make a devil from a saint,
or make the same mistake the other way.

I was bleeding from the chest, my love,
you couldn’t sew it fast enough, I know,
to pass that test - but our blood
won’t be the last of us!

And I know you’re gonna miss your bitterness,
yeah when you lighten up.

And don’t you know? Can’t you tell?
They’re just shoveling coal in their own
hell & I’m just warming up.

I was green with the sense that my dove
would be a different animal - I guess I’m wrong!
But that’s no defense,
my love feels like a cannonball!

And I know you’re gonna miss
your bitterness when you lighten up.
And you know you’re gonna keep it for yourself.
And there’s only so much poison you can drink from the cup, before you gotta worry about your health...

And don’t you know? Can’t you tell?
We’re just shoveling coal in our own
hell & it’s warming up.

ART OVEREGO
by HR Lexy

supported by 4 fans who also own “Shall Not Be Named”

This group is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. The vocals are emotional and contrast with the artificial electronic music in a way that is haunting and passionate and articulates fury, love, sadness, and hope. The aesthetic is very original and live performances are something you’ll never forget. jinxwinters
