Hammer Hands — C'est La Vie lyrics

Lyrics

I found a balance bearn made of paper cranes
And immigrant teeth that runs to the edge of the sea
If there is a goddess there, filled with poppy and clean air
I would rest my head
I trace, I trace, I retrace instead
But should I sit so still
And fill my gills with carbon monoxide
Please
Just let me forget how to breathe
Paint me dead in the street and heaving
My jaw is tired from popping and snarling
And it was you
It was all you
But I’ve been swallowed by cities
And slaughtered by beauties
But oh
But oh
I am that ghost
I am that gost
There is no La Vie en Rose
But should I sit so still
And fill my gills with carbon monoxide
