Black Confetti - Slowly Slowly

Leave the car right out the front

So we got the street lights pouring inside

So I can see me cross your mind

Like something you might like, but not tonight

You are sharpening your tongue

Cutting your words, getting it done

But we are premeditated so don’t say anything we’ve done

When it started going south

You were slow you were heavy

Not making a sound

Black confetti from your mouth

No truth to be found, you were clouding it out

And that’s just it, a shooting star

Here for a moment, raising the bar

I saw us flash across a black background

Before you got out of my car

We don’t lie with the lovers

We drop by

Slow hands that move under covers

Tell me your mine

I never thought that I could ruin your life

I just knew that you were my vibe

Bare in mind

There were signs

Bare in mind

There were signs from the start

Bare in mind

There were signs

Bare in mind

There were signs from the start

I’m the quicksand in your head

In love with the parasites, spreading regret

Cellophane over your eyes

Green on your phone screen, with blue goodbyes

Break the steam across the mirror

Show me your face, and tell me you won’t

You are locked on me unconsciously dragging your thumb across your throat

We don’t lie with the lovers

We drop by

Slow hands that move under covers

Tell me your mine

I never thought that you would actually leave

At 4am

With nothing left in the passenger seat

If I knew what would happen

Maybe I could stop the panic

Bare in mind

There were signs from the start

If I knew what you were thinking

Maybe I could’ve stopped the sinking

Bare in mind

There were signs from the start

I never thought of anyone but myself

I am sick, I am sorry

I’m just dust on a shelf

I am waiting on your photos

All the things you can’t reach

You can wipe me away when you leave yourself clean

There were signs
