Adhesive Lyrics

[Chorus]
Grab the hate and drown it out
Grab the beat and drum it out
It's so so confusing
Adhesive love, adhesive
Adhesive love
Adhesive love, adhesive
Adhesive love

[Verse 3]
Flying high across the plain
Purple flowers ease the pain
Here, now have a listen
Ain't the songs you're missing
Down the river, down the river

[Outro]
Stitch the womb and wet the bed
With a whisper i'll be dead
Don't let the living die yet!
Grab the hate and drown it out
Grab the beat and drown it out
It's all so confusing
Adhesive love, adhesive
Adhesive love
Adhesive love, adhesive
Adhesive love
