Deceiver Lyrics

While they were sleeping
we both were walking through graveyard headstones
etching engravings
attaching faces to every single name
and down the meadow
the sun was glooming like blood does from the cut
casting our shadows
we looked like spirits across the lawn

so if you're just a dreamer, i'll be the realest darling,
i'm a deceiver, take you too far
say you believe love
but i'm a deceiver i'll tie us together with tethers and cut the rope

you tell my fortune
trace every crease in my palm and kiss my hand
do you notice my love was broke like an old wedding band?

if you're just a dreamer, i'll be the realest darling,
i'm a deceiver, take you too far—let go
say you believe love but i'm a deceiver
i'll tie us together with tethers and cut the rope

we were like spiders
you'll lace our fingers
binding us tighter
and in the darkness i'll pull the stitching,
unhook the hinges, unhook the hinges

you're just a dreamer, i'll be the realest darling
i'm a deceiver, take you too far—let go
say you'll believe love
but i'm a deceiver
i'll tie us together with tethers and cut the rope
