Expensive Strawberry Jams (feat. Stephie Luné)

These scars, look so beautiful, so ravishing Silver ichor oozing out slowly on my skin Running down the pavement in perpetual white lines Eyes go wide, turning green, glimmering dollar signs Put my pretty make up on, your silhouette whispers back Calculate every step before you pounce to attack My love is frozen, locked inside your birdcage Flashing cameras, you & me on the front page Paint out the Hollywood scene Your lies, my American Dream Oh, Expensive Strawberry Jams, you hold me “Love’s a religion, you’re my god,” you told me You did it all for the sound bites, baby But you’re a pawn in my own chess story Oh, Diamonds & Gold guitar strings to bleed in Chandeliers, wine, a million craftsmen But half the country’s blind and mistaken And the other half will have their hearts broken The pain you inflict on my substantial being Makes me terrified of the thought of you leaving Become so used to this breaking & then healing There’s no-one else I’d rather break for, anymore Yet you’re speechless every time she looks at you There’s a thunderbolt going through her every move Flowing gown, like there’s flowers all around Tears of emerald green, I hit the ground Oh, Expensive Strawberry Jams, you hold me “Love, heaven’s in your arms” you told me You did it all for the sound bites, baby You’re just a pawn in my own chess story Oh, All the Nightmares, silk covers we sleep in She’s the only thing keeping me awake when Half the country’s blind and mistaken And the other half will have their hearts broken Broken, Hearts broken Mistaken, Blind and mistaken Expensive Colour Called Blood, you used mine A painting, masterpiece, “Love” you called it Here’s my reply in words, Listen You’ll never love me again You’ll be surprised what people can live with
