Tyrant Destroyed - Twin Shadow

I know you spent some time from the town to the city

Looking for a life to start

And when you were fifteen, I know what you said

«I'll never let another black boy break my heart»

You waited a decade for me to come find you

There’s never been a chance so rare

I was just stumbling out on a prosthetic love

And there had never been someone so real

This was love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hands

Love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hands

As if it wasn’t enough just to hear you speak

They had to give you lips like that

Like all of your sadness reduced to a color

Then painted upon you, how could i forget you?

And who was I to think that on a Saturday night

That you would really bike home alone

And the way that I left you just hanging on Sundays

Any fair skin boy could take you home

This was love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hands

Love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hands

Love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hands

Love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hands
