Rhododendron

Then paint me crimson and kill the sun (Lightning above, bled to death and so young) Kill your betrayer, push in his tongue Lightning above, bled to death and so young) You're touched by something I'll never see (Touched by a truth it's not in me to feel) You sew up my mouth When the blood starts pouring out Then paint me crimson and kill the sun (Lightning above, bled to death and so young) Kill your betrayer, push in his tongue (Lightning above, bled to death and so young) You've fucked with something I'll never be (Touched by a truth you will never reveal) You sew up my mouth When the blood starts pouring out You said every road you've walked Will in time corrupt your legs But so pale and bitter, I heard "don't leave" You blessed the son with a kiss And you dressed his scarring knees You said all the warmth you've sought Will in time corrupt your chest All your love will destroy you, Ragged child of the dawn You blessed the son with a kiss And you dressed his scarring knees You knew what it means to leave
