[Intro]

(I let it die in a heat wave)

[Verse 1]

I see a passage in my mind

Where crooked teeth and hungry eyes

Cannot latch onto me when I walk alone

But violent little pieces hide

Like honey bees inside their hive

Insidious, they rot alive and I know

They follow me like a ghost

[Verse 2]

I always knew there was a reason

My innocence was a keepsake

Worn around my neck

Shake my head till I see straight

Make my mind so placid, so my body can go easy

You'll never take that part of me

I felt it die in a heat wave

(In a heat wave)

[Chorus]

Devour little pieces of my heart when you need them

I wanna tear it out now when it's beating

I wanna watch it bleed out with no feeling

So I keep sweet to keep safe

Temperate in a heat wave

I wanna tear it out now when it's beating

I wanna watch it bleed out with no feeling

[Verse 3]

So suddenly it feels like I woke from a dream (Dream)

And everything that happened to me

Was a talisman I threw like a stone

You constantly infantilize, passionless in a passive life

Entitlement just to pull out every seam

[Chorus]

Devour little pieces of my heart when you need them

I wanna tear it out now when it's beating

I wanna watch it bleed out with no feeling

So I keep sweet to keep safe

Temperate in a heat wave

I wanna tear it out now when it's beating

I wanna watch it bleed out with no feeling

[Bridge]

I always knew there was a reason my innocence was a keepsake

You'll never take that part of me, I felt it die in a heat wave

[Chorus]

Devour little pieces of my heart when you need them

So I keep sweet to keep safe

Temperate in a heat wave

I wanna tear it out now when it's beating

I wanna watch it bleed out with no feeling
