about

Pixie Riot's new single off their sophomore project (TBA)

Much love xx

lyrics

Are you stuck in the present
Or has your mind washed away again
You'll be out 'till the morning still ignoring
The blood rushing through your veins
Are you planning to stay long
I really can't tell
I seem to remember an ember
Of the spark you used to be

You know that your ghost is the most that you can show me
It's carved in the walls in your brain and in those chords you need to know

Can't hurt to ask
Show me who you really are
Don't know why you are waiting
Cause I'm not dressed for the occasion
Hurt to ask
Game gone too far
So who you gonna call? It's pouring
From your excessive hailing

Too much to ask
Too much to ask
Too much to ask

And I think I've gone mad
...
Maybe it's an illusion I'm reusing
To sell that fact
Tantrums by violins
Smokescreen from a cigarette
I've put out the ember you remember

You know that your ghost is the most that you can show me
It's carved in the walls in your brain and in those chords you need to know

Can't hurt to ask
Show me who you really are
Don't know why you are waiting
Cause I'm not dressed for the occasion
Hurt to ask
Game gone too far
So who you gonna call? It's pouring
From your excessive hailing

Too much to ask
Too much to ask
Too much to ask

Too much to ask (Repeated to death)
