Death Kink Lyrics

[Verse 1: Grian Chatten]
When you came into my life, I was lost
And you took that shine to me
At what cost?
You recognized the smell
Human pain
Said I'd learn to love the chain
It was

[Chorus: Grian Chatten]
ѕh¡t, ѕh¡t, ѕh¡t
Battered
I caved in
My promise
Was clattered
Amazing stars from the dreaming
I made
A promise and I killed it
ѕh¡t, ѕh¡t, ѕh¡t
Battered
I live meretricious
You shattered
Amazing stars from the drink
I made
A promise

[Verse 2: Grian Chatten]
When you said I "taste like sleep"
I was dead
When will you step in the room out of your head?
When you said that I was bad
That was finе
But when you said I could be good I wouldn't have it
Thеre's a certain kind of air, in the smoke
Must be some amount of truth in the joke
For it to make them laugh
Ha ha ha
And teary faces know the craft

[Chorus: Grian Chatten]
ѕh¡t, ѕh¡t, ѕh¡t
Battered
I caved in my promise
Was clattered
Amazing stars from the drink
I made a promise
And I killed it
ѕh¡t, ѕh¡t, ѕh¡t
Battered
A whole life meretricious
You shattered
Amazing stars from my dreamin'
I made a promise
And I killed it
ѕh¡t, ѕh¡t, ѕh¡t
Battered
I caved in my promise
Was clattered
Amazing stars from the drink
I made a promise
