Lyrics Dessa – Kites

The neon burns a hole in the night
And the freon burns a hole in the sky
You can find my kind living right on the fault line
Eyes on the seaside, lives on the B-side

I know what he tells you
But I don’t know why you believe it, won’t leave it alone
It’s just us in the end, walking home and dodging cars
The rest of the believers follow brighter burning stars

A pushpin through my sternum
I spent a long year under glass
Watching your reflection in the cases as you passed
And cupid limps in two years too late, with a love letter for the ugly sister

I’m sorry but you missed her, Mr. Mystery to me
How lost you seem to be
From beneath, it all looks the same
Gum-covered and rusted from the rain

The neon burns a hole in the night
And the freon burns a hole in the sky
You can find my kind living right on the fault line
Eyes on the seaside, lives on the B-side
Kites on the power-lines

Maybe you were right all along
I say I’m sorry less than I am wrong
So here we are, both half-starved
You make it look so hard

I’m a shadow boxer waiting for the other girl to make the first move
And I’m a sad imposter, don’t let the battles pick you
We never do go over, we always gotta go through
Love to sleep by the hum of the machine
