Hollywood Lied About Sex

from Through Acts of God and Idiocy by Jack Holmes

/

lyrics

If it takes all night,
I’ll medicate myself into a state
where you don’t seem to be standing a thousand miles away
before this night ends and I drown myself in regrets and cowardice
I swear to God that I am going to make your eyes hit mine
if only for a second so that you can realize
that all I am is love struck and desperately waiting for my intentions and words
to meet somewhere in-between
so I could tell you tonight,
“You look like starlight to me”

If it takes all night,
I’ll navigate myself through this maze
of awkward introductions and stupid things to say
in a vain attempt of waking up lying next to you
with my fingers in your hair and our clothes scattering the floor
let’s fade to black and end this scene
another lie has been sold to me

It’s not like it really matters anyway
because you’re the surface and I’m a thousand leagues under the see
but what I wouldn’t give to feel the friction of the skin from our chests
with your hands clasping gently at my neck
and to feel the warmth of the fire inside your heart

If my desires could realise truth,
I’d fuck the last breath out of you
if my intentions and words could meet somewhere in between
I’d tell you tonight that
“you look like star light to me”
If this could be the lucky night for me
or another evening of misery
I will beckon you and say “I’m not ashamed”
