the precipice Lyrics by Jessie Mazin
It’s 4 AM, and my eyes can’t seem to close
I’m building worlds so real, I feel it in my bones
I breathe your outline when heat meets frigid air
Your lair
Bathe me in moonlight
I’ll sleep the day away
Color me candid
Leave me barren shades of gray
You are what’s beating
And aching in my chest
You’re there
Touch me slow, leave a fingerprint
Bring my soul to deliverance
I can feel you lingering
Ah
Drag me straight to the precipice
Stop me right when the feeling hits
Close my eyes and begin again
Ah
It’s 4 AM and my bed is off its frame
The faucet drips and I swear I hear your name
A siren song in the hollows of my head
Half-dead
Bathe me in moonlight
I’ll even learn to pray
Color me candid
Just to wash it down the drain
You are what’s beating
And aching in my chest
You’re there
Oh
Touch me slow, leave a fingerprint
Bring my soul to deliverance
I can feel you lingering
Ah
Drag me straight to the precipice
Stop me right when the feeling hits
Close my eyes and begin again
Ah
No-oh
No-oh
No-oh
Touch me slow, leave a fingerprint
Bring my soul to deliverance
I can feel you lingering
Ah
Drag me straight to the precipice
Stop me right when the feeling hits
Close my eyes and begin again
Ah
Touch me slow, leave a fingerprint
Drag me straight to the precipice
Touch me slow, leave a fingerprint
Drag me straight to the precipice
Ah
