Boyfriend Network - clem. Lyrics

The morning after I fall
You toss me a clementine
You keep talking loudly
Don't notice that I'm crying
My fingers trace the dents
Left alone the rind
A twin flame to the bruises
You made clutching in my spine

Why do I feel safe when your grip grows tight
Intoxicated on you, can't smell we're overripe
I'm learning love shouldn't taste saccharine
I peel back the rind, found we're rotten

Pick me when I'm down
You see low-hanging fruit
Every time I falter
You begin to loot
Hold me in your palm
Trace along my spine
Dig these dents deeper until we let this die

Why do I feel safe when your grip grows tight
Intoxicated on you, can't smell we're overripe
I'm learning love shouldn't taste saccharine
I peel back the rind, found we're rotten

Lick your lips and flash me your stupid sticky smile
Are you satiated? Was I worth your while?
Dancing in your palm
Till I'm cast aside
Will my taste still linger when we let this die?

Take what you want
Take what you need
Pull back the rind, I'll let you feed
Take what you want
Take what you need
Suck me dry till I plead
Take what you want
Take what you need
Peel back the rind
I'll let you feed
Take what you want
Take what you need
Suck me dry, leave me to bleed

Why did I feel sick when your grip grew tight
Intoxicated on you, can't smell we're overripe,
You taught me love shouldn't taste saccharine
Something too sweet is always rotten

Take what you want
Take what you need
Peel back the rind
I'll let you feed
You took what you want,
You took what you need
You sucked me dry
You left me to bleed
