Gloves Off ft. Steel Tipped Dove Lyrics

I lit myself on fire so these snake tricks would hop off my dick

But new ones just slither in

New ones just slither in

I ran the nicest kitchen

Took for granted by the plug

Stuck in the middle of a bunch robbery's

I just wanted to be loved

Daily activities required the glove

But I never tried to live like a thug

Scaring women away

I Just want to be in the liminal space

Between wanting a lover

And not knowing the pain

Hid inside a flower

And pulled the petals in

By the time I bloomed

I was already wilted and dead

No more room in my head

Past put me in a mental cage

Don't want to catch a cold case

Automatically erase a man

Like he spelled wrong on my phone screen

I'm not always blue when I wake

But when I do it feels like it happens everyday

I know the pain will go away

But some pain makes that fact feel insane

I often find myself waiting to die

I actively remind myself to live my life

What worse can happen than suicide

Surely nothing I can find in life

The people who care don't want to find

That I chose the easy way out of my mind

Hopefulness and hopelessness intertwined

Sex aside it is ironic that I felt warmer and happier

On nights where I laid awake longing for love

Than I did during nights spent with my lover

I wish I could forever be ignorant

Dreaming of a world too perfect to ever exist

My happiness in those moments was realer than anything I would ever come to feel

I fear I spent too long in isolation and lost the ability to bond

With others because my

Love

My long-forgotten anticipation of love

Is better feeling than any love I have ever come to know

Love

No

Love
