Hold Still Lyrics

In the dark

You're the perfect person you pretend you are

Like all the debts are paid

Like what was said didn't take

So hold still

Don't make that face

Can't stand how it makes me feel

I must put it to canvas

Some smoking billowing mass

Pouring out your head

Burrowed out your mouth

Into mine, it tastes like lead

Turn a little

Hold that shape

Saturate it

Anyway you want it

So defensive

I paint you this way

A representation

Of you wearing the weight

In the dark

You're the perfect lover you pretend you are

Secret adulterer of your dreams

But what's underneath is placed at feet

So hold still

The hateful look you get

In your puppy mill eyes

As our hands graze and pit

The smell of mold

Sits in the brush

Black paint on our tongues

Tangled in lust in a mutual poison

Turn a little

Hold that shape

Saturated

Anyway you want it

So defensive

I'll paint you this way

A representation

Of you wearing the weight

Turn a little

Hold that shape

Saturate it

Anyway you want it

So defensive

I paint you this way

A representation

Of you wearing the weight

Turn a little

Hold that shape

Saturate it

Anyway you want it, you want it

So defensive

I'll paint you this way

A representation

Of you wearing the weight

So hold still

So hold still

So hold still

So hold still

So hold still

So hold still

So hold still

So hold still
