Mortal Kombat

by Girlgoyle

supported by

Ryan M. Robson It's a soft feeling.

Jade Kt, when have I heard a song as delicate and lovely, and as deeply moving as this? I cannot say. I'm touched, and will be listening to this over and over until I can hear it in my heartbeat. Such a lovely clarity of story telling and beautiful truth in the telling. It's youthful and deep as the sea. Good heavens, keep singing.

lyrics

Lyrics:
You took the scissors to my hair
after a few drinks that evening
you told me to stand still
so i wouldn't mess up anything

so i closed my eyes
and i hoped to die in your arms one day
while the strands fell down on my curious face
i thought i heard you say

can we now play video games
or sing about the states
and can i hold your nervous hands
while the screen illuminates

la da da da daaaa daaaa daaa daaa daaaa
<3
