Hookers by The Scourge Of The Sea Lyrics

Your licorice and alcohol went down easily
It kept me from believing in anything I see
It sugared up my tongue and filmed over my eyes
False and smooth as butter set out for the flies
My lovers, they are hookers dressed up as believers
And I could not be more indifferent to either
You took a pill for bedtime, you took a pill for school
You took my favorite socks, and you took me for a fool
I'm waiting here, and parked beside the road
With pockets full of letters and everything I showed
Fences, fences, I'll take my chances, I paired us off and parried us
This thing is bigger than the sky, twice what I can see in size
My lovers, they are hookers selling off their fingers
Telling me I linger, tying off my hands
Dressed as the fever, dressed up as the flu
Leaving me in pitch black, loving me when I'm blue
