chapstick Video (MV)

I put chapstick on my lips and
Keep rubbing it off right after
Cause I want to drink some water
And it doesn't help me anyway
When I reach for that white
Cylinder, its label long discarded
All I feel is pre-emptive regret
Are you chapstick? or are you just temptation
Robed in no colorful branding
That's designed to make me
Grasp at you? Am I a fool
So what if my lips are dry
I'll wear them cracked and bleeding
I'll wear an outfit to match
Biblically accurate
Will you look me in the eye
Don't mind the haunted feeling
It's only separation
We'll close the distance soon enough
So what if my lips are dry
Sandpaper couldn't even
You're kinda into that
The snap, the crackle and the pop
So what if halitosis
A lightly festered laceration
Do you wanna kiss me
I dare you! I dare you
Maybe chapstick has its applications
Waxy residue of
Our encounter a reminder
To fall back on comfort and routine
I'll keep going to my
Pocket, finding there some reassurance,
An escape, a lie that I believe
Are you chapstick? or are you just temptation
You're building my reliance
On something I don't need
Something that hurts me
