future islands - calliope lyrics

Loading...

this fl!ckering hope
is a slippery slope
beset before the notes
in pictures of you
pushed too hard to know
pushed the envelope
and i got what i required
but not what i desired
not what i desired

[pre-chrous]
i’m a puppet of desire
master of denial
but you asked me with a smile
just to wait a while
but i pushed too hard to know
pushed the envelope
your patience growing cold
i’m a puppet of desire
master of denial
but you asked me with a smile
just be patient, child
but i pushed too hard to know
i pushed to let it go

[chorus]
when you said to take it slow
all i heard was “i still love you”
when you said “you’re too close”
all i heard was “i still want you”
and when you said you’d go
all i heard was “i still love you”
you seem to be getting through my skull

in loss and leaving
it’s not easy

[pre-chrous]
i’m a puppet of desire
master of denial
but you asked me with a smile
just to wait a while
but i pushed too hard to know
my patience growing cold
i’m a puppet of desire
master of denial
but you asked me with a smile
just be patient, child
but i pushed too hard to know
i pushed to let it go

[chorus]
when you said to take it slow
all i heard was “i still love you”
when you said “you’re too close”
all i heard was “i still want you”
and when you said you’d go
all i heard was “i still love you”
couldn’t seem to get it through my skull

‘cause i’m a puppet of desire
caught inside the wire
i’m a puppet of desire
i’m a master of denial
i’m a puppet of desire
caught inside the fire
i’m a master of your own
i pushed and let you go
