Leo Alexander - Spite Lyrics

      

spite
by Leo Alexander

Verse 1
Phoenixes taught me something the other day that schools just never could
If you let a fire burn long enough, the wild flames supersede our power
As a species, we know that we just do what we want
A power you exercise for everlasting fun
Unregulated malice leads to corruption
Confined to your nightly nuclear eruption
Slightly concerned about your nonchalance
But if I’m being honest, I’m more scared of

Chorus
Your spite
When you fight with your whole might
Never give me a chance to prepare
Under-handed tactics, time after time
Foul play, under-armed spite
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Bitter spite I’ll never unwind
(Mm-mm)

Verse 2
Chemistry should hold the secrets as
To why you never love the things that love you
And beyond that, you don’t care about the ones who want you
So, crawl back to the boy from whence you came
Didn’t you say you liked his body better anyway?
Keep your excuses to yourself
It’s not like you thought ‘em through
Literally don’t know a worse liar than you

Chorus
But your spite
When you fight with your whole might
Never give me a chance to prepare
Under-handed tactics, time after time
Foul play, under-armed spite
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Bitter spite I’ll never unwind

Bridge
Vengeance, rewind it
I can’t re-find it
Hide it as it fades away
Never to be seen again
Surely, you know
This ain’t a healthy way to be
Hiding your spite
Behind rosy red cheeks

 Killing me
Resting in bittersweet ecstasy
Already took every remedy
To get your sweet release
Blaming me for mutiny
Drowning me
Walked the plank on your pirates’ sea
Beamed me up then dropped me down
After your dream got tired
And you wrote me out of your visions of us
And when you don’t need me
Revenge is best served solitarily

 Spite is just fighting with your whole might
When you don’t wanna give me a chance to prepare

Chorus
Your spite
When you’re dancing through the trees
Chanting curses about how you wish I couldn’t breathe
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Breathless tactics, time after time
Foul play, under-armed spite
And it’s all bitter spite that I can’t unwind
