The Velvet Teen - We Were Bound (To Bend the Rules) lyrics
Your rating:
Half-full loses weight once you taste it So for now my empty glass must mean I've chased it But I'm not wasted and I'll not waste it The dealer laced it with a new decree of our separation How many have you taken? And I could run off at the mouth For hours on end, like I'd gone senseless But I'm just speechless Rendered me defenseless Barred from your presence, my name from present-tenses And yes, I've sensed this Since early August I'm not dense and it's obvious that you're more than just friends But I'm not against this I'll remove our fences And just hide in these sentencing sentences Till things can start making sense It's a roseate opiate ruse of roguish rouge That brings back my black and bruised blues The sea, our torpid frames pale upon the beach Entwined in love's sands, between those sheets Remember I mean, really think back now To the very last time you were happy And yeah, I know, got the job, got the family Got no free time, and still they'll take what's left Now we're running on empty but I know we can make it Can't turn around And we can't change our destination But when our transmission ends They'll rescue us And we'll start from where we land It's roseate opiate ruse of roguish rouge That brings back my black and bruised blues You can't rob the coppery tide of her cherry-ish hues The shores of these sheets recant refuse Forget about the wedding rings we lose Only greater love will see us through It don't matter now how long we've played the fools We both know we were bound to bend the rules You should know by now, we never lose No never, never You can mock the malleable calms of ancient rule Forever and ever Or forgive them for they know not what they do Whatever, whatever So Rosemary's baby to sing the truth For worse or for better Now, the idiosyncrasy when they serve the savants And the mouth of the iris learns to let the light in May the end of our times make way for the rules that we bend Times are always changing, but life never ends
