Taste
Gravedweller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you sink so far with me?
What if I'm not your taste I taste?
Hey
And I'm so exhausted and I like it
And I know I'm blind, just ignore it
Scratch till I bleed
Yeah, I know I'm just so ungrateful
Can't you see I'm never tired of shameful?
Yeah I know, yeah I know
Yeah, I know I'm still losing
What if I'm just lazy?
Would you let me swim with you?
What if I'm not the same as them?
Hey
And I'm so exhausted and I like it
And I know I'm blind, just ignore it
Scratch till I bleed
It's too easy to leave me
Yeah, I know I'm just so ungrateful
Can't you see I'm never tired of shameful?
Yeah I know, yeah I know
Yeah, I know I'm still losing
Yeah, I know I'm just so ungrateful
Can't you see I'm never tired of shameful?
Yeah I know, yeah I know
Yeah, I know I'm still losing
And what if I'm just dead weight?
Would you sink so far with me?
And what if I'm not your taste I taste?
