about
This is the first original song Aurelia and Jordan ever played together.
lyrics
Snake only strikes when you set it free
Oh, my love turned again on me
Bit, coiled, launched, and hit the target
As long as you were aiming to poison my heart
He spoke in monotone
Just to stop the measly drone, I said
"I know you ain't tellin' the truth"
My presence paralyzes the honest side to you
Baby, as if there were an honest side to you
Don't understand myself.
I keep coming back for more
He's got me by the throat
He says, "Hit the floor"
And I do hit the floor
He can taste the bittersweet
He knows he disatisfies me
Oh, look, he's made me a drone
Now I sing monotone
Yeah, I sing monotone
Don't understand myself.
I keep coming back for more
He's got me by the throat
He says, "Hit the floor"
And I do hit the floor
Don't understand myself.
I keep coming back for more
He's got me by the throat
He says, "Hit the floor"
And I do hit the floor
Oh, my love turned again on me
Bit, coiled, launched, and hit the target
As long as you were aiming to poison my heart
He spoke in monotone
Just to stop the measly drone, I said
"I know you ain't tellin' the truth"
My presence paralyzes the honest side to you
Baby, as if there were an honest side to you
Don't understand myself.
I keep coming back for more
He's got me by the throat
He says, "Hit the floor"
And I do hit the floor
He can taste the bittersweet
He knows he disatisfies me
Oh, look, he's made me a drone
Now I sing monotone
Yeah, I sing monotone
Don't understand myself.
I keep coming back for more
He's got me by the throat
He says, "Hit the floor"
And I do hit the floor
Don't understand myself.
I keep coming back for more
He's got me by the throat
He says, "Hit the floor"
And I do hit the floor
