Death & Peppermint Tea Songtext
von Eleanor McGregor

The waterfall swallows your sobs
Then you go home and buy shit from the chip shop
Normality and tragedy tangle together
The world ends over and over
But you still talk about the weather

And I thought when tragedy struck
I′d forget about falling in love
But I still think about kissing you
Even when it hurts so bad I don't know what to do

Like in les mis the love story′s as important as the war
Something worth living and something worth dying for


I keep thinking about how we're all gonna die
But I love the feeling of a city at night
And I don't know how they handle the pain
But I like sitting on my bed and listening to the rain
On the window
Just hold me while I work out where to go
(Mmm)
I cry as hard over a broken heart
As I do over a fucked up start
Trivial things are weirdly important
My body′s folding in on itself
But I still walk through a forest in autumn

And I thought when tragedy struck
I′d forget about my favourite mug
But I still pick it from the cupboard
Even when I'm convinced nothing will ever feel good

Take temporary comfort in a drink or a mug cake
Oh death and peppermint tea
Make up the same day

I keep thinking about how we′re all gonna die
But I love the feeling of a city at night
And I don't know how
They handle the pain
But I like sitting on my bed
And listening to the rain
On the window
Just hold me while I work out where to go

There′s a heavy weight in my chest
But I love the feeling of a spinny dress

I'm terrified of the fact exist
But the world is nice through the eyes of a kid


I hate the feeling of knowing before you′re told
But I love the feeling of a blanket in the cold

I don't like seeing people cry
But I love it when they talk about the things they like

(Repeats)

The waterfall swallows your sobs
Then you go home and buy shit from the chip shop
Normality and tragedy are always tangled together
