Marcus Skeen - Leech Lyrics

I mean, this is probably the only one I'm gonna make like this
I just want it to be like a light beat on top of like a very serious song
Like, oh! we're venting about our friends
Off of bossa nova? Oh my god

Silent treatment, you can turn warm evenings to a cold sad spotlight
Like a leech to life
Sucking color out of bright red cheeks
Like you've been starved for weeks
And only joy can sate you now

But you know as well as I do
It's not the joy that we offer you
Your terms cost us blood
Said, I know you thought we'd addressed
All of my issues with you
But every day you find new ways of

Sapping the color from the flowers
Slowing the minutes into hours
God forbid I bite back at you
God forbid the leech lose its food

I would love to leave you
But all my value's in you

I commend you, it took six whole months
This time to make me want
To die, to drive my car off cliffs
If you'd like I offer passenger
We'd die together
Maybe then this war will end

And I know you thought we'd addressed
All of my issues with you
But every day you find new ways of

Sapping the color from the flowers
Slowing the minutes into hours
God forbid I bite back at you
God forbid the leech lose its food

I would love to leave you
But all my value's in you

La-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
