lyrics

Light reflecting off of your shiny skin
the porous rind is ripped apart at the bones
the citrus stings my eyes in the kitchen
the mist that is released when we're all alone

pulp is falling down on the counter
precision of the knife slicing through my bones
juice is bleeding out on the cutting board
the heavenly aroma makes me feel at home

I'm gnawing at the dents caved in your flesh
the deeper colors surely taste the best
I'm picking you ripe off from your vine
I wish i could indulge you every single time

my fingers sticky sweet holding back the thought,
'if i eat all this orange will it be for naught?'
im chewing on a seed stuck in my teeth
I wonder if it tastes anything like me
I wonder if you taste anything like me
I wonder if you taste anything like me

pulp is falling down on the counter
precision of the knife slicing through my bones
juice is bleeding out on the cutting board
the heavenly aroma makes me feel at home
feel at home
feel at home
feel at home
feel at home
