Razor Blades by The Boy Bathing Lyrics

She shaves her legs so close
And holds a razor to my throat
Its a price of loving me
She says that she dares me to breathe

And we met in our teens
Seventeen was like a dream
Twenty-one has come
Talking like we're drunk with our stomachs pumped
And we won't sober up

You say you want to turn me off like a switch from light to dark
And you'll see memory, some perfect picture gallery

Your camera clicks, and I'm in a frame
Like a lonely lion who's in a cage
Looks through the bars, likе there's some mistakе
He's always making the same face
That resembles me, but its clearly fake
And at feeding time you bring my plate
And I love the smell, but I hate the taste
'Cause I did no work, and there was no chase
So I make an escape
I can only disappear
Like the six months I left last year
As thin and pale as a ghost
Drove around the west coast
'Til I eventually came home

And you didn't even change
I recall you look the same
And I was on my own
I grew roots through the stone
And I wonder what you did

I grew sailor's eyes
What was missed in the horizon
The water and dry land
The mainland and the island

The house of brick, the touch of sand
Looking for man with a looking glass
A compass and a map
So taking off the rope, that you've tied unto your boat
You can float in the sea
Or grow roots here, like a tree

But you're not a cat, or an acrobat
You fall out of trees onto your back
And some other guy's hard lap
And you give him ass
Until he gives you back
