Thorns on My Desk

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Badge clipped on, heels in line Six floors up, still feel the climb You said my name like a paper cut Soft on the lips, but it still got stuck Inbox full, but I miss one call Your little cold words hit through the wall We share this space, we share this air But you leave thorns in everywhere [Pre-Chorus] And I smile for the room Then I fall in the tune All that gloss, all that grace Still I feel your trace [Chorus] Thorns on my desk Thorns in my chest You look so clean But you cut the best Thorns on my desk Say it with your face I keep it smooth You keep the ache (Thorns on my desk) (Thorns on my desk) [Verse 2] Filing dreams in a letter tray I got big soft words I don’t always say One girl runs high, one voice runs deep One keeps time while the rest stay sweet Meeting room, but my heart’s on pause You give a nod, then you change the laws I catch that stare in the polished glass Like every kind thing never lasts [Pre-Chorus] And I know that look It’s a book I don’t read Still I hold my ground In the air between [Chorus] Thorns on my desk Thorns in my chest You look so clean But you cut the best Thorns on my desk Say it with your face I keep it smooth You keep the ache (Thorns on my desk) (Thorns on my desk) [Bridge] [Rap] I don’t need the smoke, I don’t need the war I just need you straight when you walk through the door Little silk talk, little ice in the tone Got six voices strong and I’m not alone High note rise while the low note stays Every sharp word gets lost in the haze If you want my time, better come with truth ’Cause I bloom in a room when the room get mute [Final Chorus] Thorns on my desk Thorns in my chest You look so clean But you cut the best Thorns on my desk Say it with your face I keep it smooth You keep the ache Thorns on my desk Thorns in my chest We wear it nice But we feel it less (Thorns on my desk) (Thorns on my desk)
