Lyrics Joseph Arthur

Joseph Arthur

Dessert

You're the dessert brought burning in Bourbon

To smiles & glazy widening eyes

Extinguished by the breeze of hungry applause and the grabbed forks shine

Awake enough to see quivering lips reach toward your soft sweet heart

Now loosening flesh in spit of grinding teeth

Still trying to distinguish yourself from a ghost

Engulfed by the slime of swallowing
