Lyrics for The Desired Effect
It would be my pleasure To dive into the ocean To find the buried treasure And present it all to you I'll sing away the pain The chaos and the strain No love by any measure Could exceed my love for you Wash me clean and make me whole when I get wrecked. Kiss my mouth and eyes. I beg you to protect. Give me the desired effect. You fear that the bloom has gone off of the rose A demon inside of you feeds and it grows Though you travel afar I am someone who knows that A part of you's staying with me For all the acclaim and adoring you've seen You'll never forsake us We're building a dream You'll never betray me and our little Bean A part of you's staying with me. Wash me clean and make me whole when I get wrecked. Kiss my mouth and eyes. I beg you to protect. Give me the desired effect. Hey. Wait. We'll dance beneath the rain I'll sing away your pain Won't let you be insane I hurt with love for you Wash me clean and make me whole when I get wrecked. Kiss my mouth and eyes. I beg you to protect. Give me the desired effect.
