You lured me with your diamond flower
You lured me with talk of still more talk
You lured me with caramelizing power
You lured me a lot
Clearly lifeless bare feet
And dogs just trained to sniff
You saw him struggle
Then you saw him cease his struggling
You said, we're halfway come and meet us
We're the completists

You lured me with your bad intentions
You lured me with your Mexican pot
You lured me with desert dimensions
You lured me a lot.
You loaded up your gear so well
You can pack so tight
But I can still hear your tambourine
Demeaning you through the night
Don't want to sound defeatist
But we're the 'complete-est'.

Intimate, inaccurate, a family, in a way,
Made the trip to Vulnerable and back
On the same day.
Don' t want to sound defeated.
You lured me into repetition
You lured me to want to go to sleep
You lured me into open spaces
You lure me
Clearly lifeless bare feet
And dogs just trained to sniff
You showed him struggle
Then you showed him cease his struggling
You said, we're halfway, come, and meet us
We're the completists.
Halfway come and meet us
The 'complete-est'
