Favorite Song Of The Week

This has always been my favorite song off Lucy Gray, but after seeing the video (click link below), I've been slightly more obsessed. Envy On the Coast still stand as some of my favorite song-writers. This song has a ton-o lyrics...and they're all great! Anyone can feel free to buy the video and send it to me. Or an Envy On the Coast t-shirt for that matter...

MY FAVORITE SONG THIS WEEK IS:

Mirrors
by: Envy On The Coast

Dear Ms. White,

Put down this night
You wouldn't believe how much it snows
In the summer heat with red iron feet
You'll be nursing a bloody nose

Princess, rest
We talk in our sleep
But wouldn't dare to sit too close
I can't be your prince
Though your secrets are safe
I am the mirror who can't let go

With hair as black as night
Her skin a dead, pearly white
And the blood, red on the bathroom wall

With every breath and every intake
Tip-toe further away
Further away from this mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint
(That's not what you needed anyway)
All the cold that you caught
The bones that you bought
The blood that you've lost
You built your body in the coffin where you sleep

Let this apartment breathe
Cause it's what it needs
I'm suffocating the clock to keep you
I think like a saint
But swing like a thief
And inadvertently leading you
To believe I'm your prince
Adorn your bedroom with hints
Take the red from your eyes
And ink it into your skin
Now watch what you say
Cause there's nothing gray
About the color of your sin

With hair as black as night
Her skin a dead, pearly white
And the blood, red on the bathroom wall

With every breath and every intake
Tip-toe further away
Further away from this mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint
(That's not what you needed anyway)
All the cold that you caught
The bones that you bought
The blood that you've lost
You built your body in the coffin where you sleep

A fix
Just a little bit
Give the girl enough to sleep through this
So stop staring at the mirror before it tells you the truth
Cooperate or it'll kill you, too

With every breath and every intake
Tip-toe further away
You're bleeding, you're bloodshot
Tired mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint
(You need to see the pieces you've thrown away)
All the cold that you caught
The bones that you bought
The blood that you've lost
Keep your body
Get the hell away

From,
Me
