lyrics

(Intro)

I want to buy my lady a ring with a black diamond.
Won't even gaze at what the price is. To this day, there's nothing like it.
Some would say it's dull and lifeless; but I'd trade a couple vices...
just to have it. The signs get us romancin'.
I could die at such a lavish jewel, but that'd be tragic...
'cause I'd rather see you smilin' when it's handed. Silent Love from Famished,
and damaged goods. We're fixed to be bad.
Craving dissonance. Juxtapositional clashin'.
We feel so in alignment with an intimate trance.
Why wouldn't we wear this symbolism in drag?
We crossover when the ball is in our court.
Everything just glistens when we see the rain-shower's pour.
I think it's fine and gorgeous. You're some type of sorceress.
Let's pour some wine and dine in orchids full of red and black roses,
in hopes that no one will know of this formant.
I pray that they record it, before that short-clip gets distorted, 'cause...

This is not for eyes to see.
That is why we hide, and creep...
on the outside of scenes,
and make our own. (x2)

I want to buy my lady a ring with a black diamond,
and make sure she knows to see herself inside it,
and realize that she is priceless. I'm giving surprises.
Quite gifted and pious. Devoted to you. You're my religion.
The Christ I'm sittin' on my knees, tryna' get to give me a sign...
Was given, but only seen your body.
Are you an apparition? Oh, the climate shifted...
It's like I seen a ghost appear in the side of vision...
I met an angel. Even her shade glows.
From every angle, I see the rays show.
I think it's fine and gorgeous. You're some type of sorceress.
Let's pour some wine and dine in orchids full of red and black roses,
in hopes that no one will know of this formant.
I pray that they record it, before that short-clip gets distorted 'cause...

This is not for eyes to see.
That is why we hide, and creep...
on the outside of scenes,
and make our own.

"It's so swell. So swell...
Please, don't tell. Don't tell.
Don't tell..."
