more lyrics without music

this sprang into my head while blasting cat power in my headphones and walking to school yesterday.


well I talked to the devil and he lied to me
said that love would set me free
and pull me down to the burning sea
but instead it just purified my disease.

your face, you eyes, your lips, your skull, your bones
you cast my eyes away from me
you took my heart where no one goes
you said it wasn't all that bad
it's so bad but no one even knows
carry me half way down
cause it's the only place I want to know
no more milk white smile and crystal clothes
with crystal teeth and my eyes uncomposed
and clean floors of polished pearl, white luck, sit down, shut up
I want to feel concrete between my toes
I want the radiant solitary cry
but all I see my love just grows
keep away from me my love just grows

I saw the devil and he lied to me
said that love would set me free
and drag me down to the burning sea
but instead I find everything to be clean
instead I'm floating up and I will curse you
said devil pull me down I'd rather burn
said god please shake this love from me
this isn't what you said it'd be
it isn't what you said it'd be.
