kate tempest - thirsty lyrics
i came to under a red moon
thirsty for water
my eyes were like shovels in the soil of the sky
digging in to the night to find solace
burying emptiness
i was heart-broken
vomiting memories
because i’d promised her everything
then i did what i could not to recognize anything
so, here i was
marching the town like a priest in my rapture
muttering spells
so desperate for tenderness
so raw from the grating of senses
the way the day drinks every drop of my strength
it’s relentless
i was digging out pence for a length of bad whisky
me and my friends
or at least
the others who slumped at the bar without peace
they embraced me as kindred, but
something is missing
so, i was sat there at the bar with my forehead on my wrist
thinking i had given all i had in me to give
when i saw her
cross the floor like a firework exploding in slow motion
she touched me on the shoulder
and i started
to live
but i wasn’t ready yet
i wanted sucker punch and numbness
the chase and the conquest of dating by numbers
the safety of keeping my distance and feeding
my hungers
she spoke of a truth that i could not confront
and she offered a peace
that my war didn’t want
because i liked being fangs and destruction
suction and froth and dysfunction
i was dreaming
talking too much with my friends in the evenings
i laughed very loud as if i was extremely
happy
you should have seen me
now i knew she sensed a glory
i could feel it in the way that i was standing
two feet taller like i’d never been afraid
i didn’t want her to know i wasn’t everything she saw in me
we walked each other home
and didn’t kiss
we walked each other home
and
