Description
Can love be both a prayer and an experiment? Here, it certainly can. These sounds are like two people colliding, who have long since forgotten how to distinguish between passion and self-destruction. Everything is beautiful, sticky, and a little crazy: a velvety voice asks to be loved until it completely dissolves, like sugar in strong tea. Somewhere between “hold me tighter” and “bury me beautifully” lies an unsettling pleasure - when love becomes a religion and tenderness sounds like a spell. And all this is set to music that makes you want to dance barefoot and quietly lose your mind at the same time.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Every morning you knew I'd be right on cue.
A songbird carries you out of your beauty sleep.
I'm devoted to you and your disloyalty.
Did you know that I prepare to quiet the feast?
My hips and lips will tackle all your wildest beasts.
Hold me, hold me in your hands.
Bad weather on Sundays isn't for you.
You rejoice at something new. A costume perhaps, a shiny flask. Where do you stand?
What do you want from me?
If my lips turn blue, will you bury me?
Cry for me, will you keep me company?
I love to love but nobody loves to love me.
I could always tell you how to solve the spot. Why is it that you never took the shot?
I served it to you on a silver platter.
Imagine if our oceans came together. A pool of blue moons that defy bad weather.
I love you, let's change the world forever.
We went to visit the graveyard to see the people you can live without. You saw a ghost and I proposed.
I'm on my knees.
What do you wanna be?
If my lips turn blue, will you marry me?
Cry for me, will you keep me company?
What is it gonna be?
If my lips turn blue, will you marry me?
Come for me, will you try to like me?
You love to love but you'll never love to love me.
If you need a right hand I promise I'll be there on your side.
Tiptoe on the sidelines, ghost you every night.
Drain me of my blood, lock it in your vault.
Careful, please be gentle.
Take me to your temple.
Gratify me all is well.
Wrap me in a dress that blinds me with a kiss.
Satisfy me, all is well.
Keep me in your bed and love me 'til I'm dead.
Love me 'til I'm dead.
