about

This is the original, longer version of the track Lover Boy which appears on The 16 Deaths of My Master. There's about a minute extra for a huge climatic outro. I thought the track was maybe more succinct without it, but I think I should have kept it. Here it is now.

lyrics

I’m in love with my dope dealer
Stripped to my bones
My core belief is fear
Raw and crawling
Weak and weeping
Forlorn pin of light surrounded
Hiding in the afterbirth of love
Turn away my lover boy
Didn’t you check for hoofs my lover boy
Hear me
You don’t want love you want hostages
Children don’t know how to use venom
Play is practice for your first murder
I will blame you for what I have done
My lover boy turn away now
It's not like the movies
You’re just a stupid fucking junkie you lover boy
Its not like all those stupid fucking movies you absorbed
Turn away now
I’m sick of playing your role lover boy
Inhale
And maybe one day I will be your lover boy
And you can kill me

I am a worth of light, far beyond exceeding
Too far from home to return to
Enjoy your shallow waters, you deserve the tide pools
Stay wet you'll never have to burn
