what are you ashamed of

addiction, my slice of love?

the ice cream man

a kidnapper’s van

you wear it on your skin

try to act like the feeling’s hid

you hollywood movie star

i make every new scar

possessive and charming, all that i like

put all that for-show lovin to the side

a dog at your feet, eyes to match the sun

i pant as you wheeze, cus i think you’re the only one

ive got an addiction to love

purity burnt out of the stove

serve it to me in my sleep

it’s all that i want to eat

my blood is sacred but everyone’s seen it

whether through drawing or seeping

knees giving out on the concrete 

braces for weeks

[chorus]

Orange peels

Digging my nails in so deep

Your skin’s so sweet

Like the blossom of a tree

Syrupy sticky leaves 

And i seethe

In guilty breathing patterns

Because i finally see

i am bloated with lies 

but they won’t ever let me die

lust is in my veins

filled with perverted sayings
