by New Radiant Storm King
I am an architect
With only one regret
You'll be the only one
Who hasn't cut me yet
You seem like you deserve much more
Than I seem to be cut out for
Toss it back and burn the slack away
I am an architect
I haven't placed my bet
Because I'll never know
Just who you'll fuck next
You seem so surprised when I
Look into your eyes and then I
Toss it back and burn the slack away
She feeds me pieces of ecstasy
Three bites every hour
She licks my brain herself to crumble and fall
