Little Kid - The Fifth Lyrics

Was it easy enough
To find another to love?
Something breezy and boyish
In the sound of your voice
Betrayed another one boiling
Your blood

And do you stretch their skin tight?
Hold it up to that sky at night?
With that pencil you trace
The paths of their veins
To form constellations
Of light

Said, "If I do what you ask
Could you give me a little something back?
I ain't asking for much
Maybe loosen these cuffs
Give me a couple of puffs
From that pack?"

And you in that customary dress
For a Judas impression
You tried for that kiss
But when you leaned in
Pressed your lips to that partition
Of glass

Keep clenching your fists
And biting your lip
As you hang on that fifth
All your life
