Tokyo Tea

It starts with love between guys
You're like heaven to me, still somehow you overwhelm me
You know how I tend to be
Words stinging hard like a bee
Yet so bad at saying so

My ego's not a problem to you
But you're confident I'll make it through
I'm capable of ending a life
Either yours, or rather it'd be mine

Oh, the water tastes much better
When you have the colors drowning the burn
Deep inside, I'm feeling mortified
'Cause we're dancing with my corpse still writhing
(Aww) dude

Throw all the pain out the window got my
Heart wringin' out like a playdough on your own terms
Like you're not living in my house

If any spark couldn't kindle
Trauma threading around like a spindle
So don't blame it on me, empathy can be pricey

See, I can be the perfect man if you'd just let me
Drink in the sea, Tokyo Tea
See? Why be hurt when all that shatters is so tiny?
Glass in my feet, Tokyo Tea

Just when you thought it was fine
It so happens to be
Just another tragic story

I'm hitting 365
And still my heart isn't free
I just wanna say I'm-
Babe

Oh, the water tastes much better
When you have the colors drowning the burn
Deep inside, I'm feeling mortified
'Cause we're dancing with my corpse still writhing

Throw all the pain out the window got my
Heart wringin' out like a playdough on your own terms
But you're not even in my house

If any spark couldn't kindle
Trauma threading around like a spindle
Drama, blame it on me, empathy can be pricey

See, I can be the perfect man if you'd just let me
Drink in the sea, Tokyo Tea
See? Why be hurt when all that shatters is so tiny?
Glass in my feet, Tokyo Tea

When I said not a day goes by without me grieving, I meant it
I fucking meant it
When I said it was 365, thinking how I missed and messed it
I fucking meant it

See, I can be the perfect man because you left me
Drinkin' the sea, Tokyo Tea
Free from the toxins of our past I held so tightly
Glass in our feet, Tokyo Tea
