Counterparts - Selfishly I Sink Lyrics






Bred to feel an unfamiliar touch
Lust begins and ends with both of us
Keep me close, drag me down
In the wake of shallow waves you leave

Fill the void like fingers in my mouth
Spread slowly like a plague I've invited into me
Emotions cast like stones skipped across empty lakes
And selfishly I sink

Cure your rust from within
No desire lives past dawn
Nocturnal by default
Speak softly
Drive a nail through both of my lips if you must
We whisper as a metaphor for trust

Absence of affection
Not worth the cancer I have caused
Sever the ties to keep from stringing this along
Keep me close
Suspended just out of arms reach
No vacant pair of wings were ever fit to hold me
Keep me close
In the wake of shallow waves you leave
The water left me filthy
But somehow you're completely clean

Cure your rust from within
No desire lives past dawn
Nocturnal by default
Speak softly
Drive a nail through both of my lips if you must
We whisper as a metaphor for trust

Selfishly I sink

No vacant pair of wings were ever fit to hold me
Drag me down
Selfishly I sink

    Bred to feel an unfamiliar touch
    Lust begins and ends with both of us
    Keep me close, drag me down
    In the wake of shallow waves you leave

    Fill the void like fingers in my mouth
    Spread slowly like a plague I've invited into me
    Emotions cast like stones skipped across empty lakes
    And selfishly I sink

    Cure your rust from within
    No desire lives past dawn
    Nocturnal by default
    Speak softly
    Drive a nail through both of my lips if you must
    We whisper as a metaphor for trust

    Absence of affection
    Not worth the cancer I have caused
    Sever the ties to keep from stringing this along
    Keep me close
    Suspended just out of arms reach
    No vacant pair of wings were ever fit to hold me
    Keep me close
    In the wake of shallow waves you leave
    The water left me filthy
    But somehow you're completely clean

    Cure your rust from within
    No desire lives past dawn
    Nocturnal by default

    Selfishly I sink

    No vacant pair of wings were ever fit to hold me
    Drag me down
    Selfishly I sink

    I highly doubt it but is there any band with a very similar sound because I would love to know, I haven’t found one yet and I have heard a lot of artists? Their sound is too good and too original

    D.... ....

    DanylTrickz hundredth and capsize. Blake used to play for hundredth before he hopped in with counterparts after Jesse left and capsize is pretty much counterparts 2. And just a heads up, hundredth’s newest album is actually a shoe-gaze but everything before that is pretty close.

    D.... ....

    DanylTrickz saints never surrender, continuance, shai hulud :D they were also main influences for the start amazing underrated/not known bands

  4. C.... W....

    The guitar is delicious

  5. S.... ....

    Did I see Josh from STYG and Cory Wells?

  6. J.... B....

    Bad vocals and awful generic breakdowns but other than that it's alright.
