about

'Oil and Water' is the second single from the forthcoming album 'Standing Still Will Kill You', due for release in November 2017.

lyrics

I’m a liar. Held my hands to the fire, and got burned.
Taught a lesson that I never learned.
I’m the sacrifice, I’m cursed.

I’m a liar. Jumped in to the mire, head first.
Left a golden dream in the dirt.
I’m an open wound, I’m hurt.

It’s like oil and water. I wanna’ get close, I can’t get closer to ya.
Just like oil and water. The river it runs, we just drift further and further.

I’m tired. Wanna’ let go of desire, and feel love.
Got a nagging doubt inside that won’t budge.
Kiss her open mouth, I taste blood.

It’s like oil and water. I wanna’ get close, I can’t get closer to ya.
Just like oil and water. The river it runs, we just drift further and further.
