about

Part of the chorus is a play on a line in Cheever's The Wapshot Chronicle. The book has nothing to do with the song unless you want to read into it.

lyrics

I should’ve faked my death
I should’ve kept living for the unspoken benefits
I have no credentials except being a culprit of my simplicity

Chorus:
Dark secrets, mostly carnal
Light secrets shining out of the bottle

You court angels effortlessly
You manipulate maelstroms with ragged, naked breath
You have no entitlement, just a decent will to live and look good brooding about it

Chorus

You’re not some other sickly adoration x2

We traded lust for blood
We eventually had to face the consequences
We hung our bodies against the waves of the sea crashing upon us and drowning our dignity

Chorus

Other sickly adorers have knocked down your door
When I was barely born, so my intentions are
Perceived as ludicrously lurid
