about

<<I believe the gender binary is wack and don't condone the concept of what a "boy" is but seeing that this song is about a triple Aries I made an exception to be funny>>

lyrics

Moon-watching lit by stars
In part with passing cars
Venus not hung too far
You made my hipbones grind against those jagged rocks
You made it simple to destroy my mental blocks
Don't mind the bruising from your heartrate-inducing
We could go so much higher
No need to be confusing there's no damned excusing
Boy you make me so inspired

Reach your hand inside my open jar
Pick the forbidden fruit that makes your heart ajar
Am I a moth to flame will you leave my wings black n charred?
I've got these pitfalls like minefields in quicksand
And you're so sinful you got the devil at your hand
Don't mind the bruising from your welcomed abusing
We could go so much higher
I need to be refusing there's no damned excusing
But you make me feel desire(d)

I may be worn out from these wayward scars
And burnt out from all these wildfires that spread to far
I'd rather watch your hands pull the strings on other things from afar
I been stokin' this spark that I fear will never blaze
And I know I'm to blame for all these weary days
Don't mind the bruising from your reckless using
You could go so much higher
I need to be reclusing there's no damned excusing
Cuz it makes me so inspired
