about

i'd like to meet this aiden.

lyrics

you never were the one to fit
your frank expressions ruined it
hands for pianos poem eyes
no one could change you but they tried

it wasn't the promises unsure
or all of the altars you disturbed
it wasn't the tongue you couldn't curb
but it was all of this and still something

AIDEN YOU LOOK LIKE A GIRL
ROUND HIPS RED LIPS AND HONEY CURLS
AIDEN YOU DANCED ON THEIR GRAVES
WHOLE WORLD IS SLEEPING BUT AIDEN'S AWAKE

millions of them and one of you
patiently plotting out your coup
no one expected you to rise
passionate vastness your stature belies

it isn't the moonlight on the cliffs
it isn't the salt within your kiss
it isn't the stories turned to myth
but it is all of this and still something

AIDEN COUNT UP YOUR DUBLOONS
SMILE WITH YOUR EYES BLACK AND BLUE
EVEN THE FOREST WILL SWOON
AIDEN COME HOME TO ME SOON AND SOON
