  • Bite chunks out of me
    You're a shark and I'm swimming
    My heart still thumps as I bleed
    And all your friends come sniffing

    Triangles are my favorite shape
    Three points where two lines meet
    Toe to toe, back to back, let's go
    My love, it's very late
    'Til morning comes
    Let's tessellate

    Go alone my flower
    And keep my whole lovely you
    Wild green stones, alone my lover
    And keep us on my heart

    Three guns and one goes off
    One's empty, one's not quick enough
    One burn, one red, one grin
    Search the graves while the camera spins
    Chunks of you will sink down to seals
    Blubber rich in mourning
    They'll nosh you up, yes, they'll nosh the love away
    But it's fair to say, you will still haunt me

    Triangles are my favorite shape
    Three points where two lines meet
    Toe to toe, back to back, let's go
    My love, it's very late
    'Til morning comes
    Let's tessellate Writer/s: Augustus Figaro Niso Unger-Hamilton, Charlie Andrew, Gwilym David Dylan Sainsbury, Joe Jerome Newman, Thomas Stuart Green
