Why Must We Wait Reimagined - Anthony Green, Summer Swee-Singh

Strawberry streaks around your neck

Pushing you closer to the end

Free birding like, «rid me of all the things I ever thought I’d need»

Why must we wait

When the body is rushing

You can’t help shrieking out, «take me all the way»

And we die all night

In a ritual dance so custom and arcane

I can’t have enough

Flow with the temper in this way

Pushing you closer on to me

Cauterize deep

Rid me of all the things I ever could believe

Why must we wait

With the temperature rising

You can’t help crying out, «give it all to me»

And we die each time

In a murderous broth so delicate and ours, makin' our escape

Slow love, so slow love, much harder love, and slow

So slow love, so longer love, much harder love, and slow

I’ve had enough

(Pull tight around my neck)

Feel it all too much

(Keep drifting as we fade out)

I’ve seen enough, feel it all too much

(Pull tight around my neck)

But you won’t regret coming to life

(Keep drifting as we fade out)

I’ve seen enough, feel it all too much

(Pull tight around my neck)

I’ve seen enough, open your eyes, love

(Keep drifting as we fade out)

Open your eyes
