Smother Me by Tarnish Lyrics
A web of satin spun in my eyes
A spider's breath seeps into my mind
And cactus tears deep inside leave me trembling
Like a baby in arms
Like a foal who tosses and turns and teases again
And the temptress said that I'd do it again
And I wanted to be who I am
That walking, crying fool that I am
Oh smother me
Oh smother me
A deadly game
A pride must be slain
Or else fall into hate
But in time it waits
And the shell cracks at her leather seam
Spilling dreams and blood and cactus minds
But they force feathers onto my face
And all I see is a little girl curled at my feet
Oh smother me
Oh smother me
Hush don't you speak a word
You ruin everything, you fool
Don't you see all this hate is turned to me?
Oh, hush like a child
Don't you know that all that you do
And your thoughts run wild every time
But that doesn't mean what you think
No don't you accuse me
You're as stupid as can be
And don't you dare try to explain me
A seed of doubt
Formed down in my mind
And I wanted to shout out the answer, but I felt blind
Do we need each other for clarity, do we need each other for charity
But you make me realise, there's no need
As I please you and seize you and tease as I try and I trust and I cry and I love you
Oh smother me
Oh smother me
A loyalty did grow
A loyalty did show
A spider's breath seeps into my mind
And cactus tears deep inside leave me trembling
Like a baby in arms
Like a foal who tosses and turns and teases again
And the temptress said that I'd do it again
And I wanted to be who I am
That walking, crying fool that I am
Oh smother me
Oh smother me
A deadly game
A pride must be slain
Or else fall into hate
But in time it waits
And the shell cracks at her leather seam
Spilling dreams and blood and cactus minds
But they force feathers onto my face
And all I see is a little girl curled at my feet
Oh smother me
Oh smother me
Hush don't you speak a word
You ruin everything, you fool
Don't you see all this hate is turned to me?
Oh, hush like a child
Don't you know that all that you do
And your thoughts run wild every time
But that doesn't mean what you think
No don't you accuse me
You're as stupid as can be
And don't you dare try to explain me
A seed of doubt
Formed down in my mind
And I wanted to shout out the answer, but I felt blind
Do we need each other for clarity, do we need each other for charity
But you make me realise, there's no need
As I please you and seize you and tease as I try and I trust and I cry and I love you
Oh smother me
Oh smother me
A loyalty did grow
A loyalty did show
