Tyrant Destroyed

Tyrant Destroyed - Twin Shadow

Written by：George Lewis Jr.

I know you spent some time from the town to the city

Lookin' for a life to start

And when you were fifteen I know what you said

I'll never let another black boy break my heart

You waited a decade for me to come find you

There's never been a chance so rare

I was just stumbling out on a prosthetic love

And it never been someone so real

This was love and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hands

Love and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hand

As if it wasn't enough just to hear you speak

They had to give you lips like that

Like all of your sadness reduced to a color

Then painted upon you how could I forget you

And who was I to think that on a saturday night

That you would really bike home alone

And the way that I left you just hanging on sundays

Any fair skinned boy'll take you home

This was love and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hands

Love and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hands

Love and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hands

Love and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hand
