lose who you are
go by water or sands so far
my senses take all leave
shut unseen, aware yet bleed

sun sure, I can see
it is only pinned on top of me
Halsey may, she groans that way
come away (come away)

to my land of kicks for free
to my land of kicks for free, for free

war in the heart
splinters innocence, so many parts
my senses take all leave
no want or greed, I'm soon to leave

since her I've perceived
so little reason, no bitter seed
if you love her, you'll believe
someone sinister, sister weave

for the queens of twisted easts
falling shakes late christmas eve
