All the boys are beautiful shadows with razors in their lungs we want to be chosen by their gem stone eyes but they’re scared to be beaten They have forbidden bottles under their beds pretty boys with herbs in their sleeves adventures on their eyelids Seeing the pain of the world and being forced to look away all they know is to worship the nights avoiding everything painful There’s a beautiful secret lying on the tip of their tongue we hear the same voices in our heads still our softness stays a threat We’re outlawed and hunted by them like witches they’re intimidated by our richness craving to touch our waists

Boys
All the boys are beautiful shadows with razors in their lungs we want to be chosen by their gem stone eyes but they’re scared to be beaten They have forbidden bottles under their beds pretty boys with herbs in their sleeves adventures on their eyelids Seeing the pain of the world and being forced to look away all they know is to worship the nights avoiding everything painful There’s a beautiful secret lying on the tip of their tongue we hear the same voices in our heads still our softness stays a threat We’re outlawed and hunted by them like witches they’re intimidated by our richness craving to touch our waists
