Slow Honey
Music Written by Honest John
Lyrics Written by Rob Muir

lyrics

The weight of the world all on yourself
well that don't mean that you carry it well
Snaking charm with a serpent bite
can't ever satisfy your appetite
Eyes sunken low, the bluest black
some say you've been to hell and back

All I know...we got this wrong...all you feel is all you are

Built a world inside your mind
no way out, no place to hide
so you bathe in your own mystique
you played on it so perfectly
in a ghostly glow, the bluest black
some say you've been through hell and back

All I know...we got this wrong...all you feel is all you are
