Alkaline Trio

We're the things that go bump
in the night that you can't see
Yeah, we're the mishaps that always happen in threes
This ain't no rocket science, no big mystery
Why the light of day that's shown to us
Is absolutely meaningless to me
Well, first things first, we've gotta find a way
To make the beauty of the nighttime last all day
We'll do our very best to keep our appetites in check
You better watch your back, we want your neck
Nothing but rotten apples lay here
light years from the tree
Got thrown out of the house at the ripe age of three
I'll do my very best to keep my feelings off my chest
And out of your neck, out of your neck

In the shadows where the heads hang low
You hear the voices as the wind blows
Asking can't you see?
Reminding you to breathe

It's only time before it catches up
To you and all your broken luck
I've found a better way
To get even with my memory

In the darkness where the angels cry
Give us water, give us back our lives
Our bed's this concrete floor
And it's all we have left to live for

A day we'll never face, we're only
Second-handed, sick, and lonely
Fighting back the tears
And every urge to Van Gogh both our ears

That's it, we've had enough
Please turn that fucking radio off
Ain't nothing on the air wave in the despair we feel

In the shadows where the heads hang low
You hear the voices as the wind blows
Asking can't you see?
Reminding you to breathe

It's only time before it catches up
To you and all your broken luck
I've found a better way
To get even with my enemies

That's it, we've had enough
Please turn that fucking radio off
Ain't nothing on the air wave in the despair we feel

That said, We've had enough
Put Walk Among Us on and turn it up
Ain't nothing on the air wave in the hatred we feel

This is our biggest fear
The only tunes that we hear
Come via antenna to your car radio
Oh no, no, no

That's it, we've had enough
We've had enough

There's someone down below blowing you a kiss.
They watch from their windows
as all arms fall to their sides,
and all eyes fix on the death of tomorrow.
And you found everything you need
to make a life complete,
completely revolting and they have safety and relief
For sale up the street.
I see you in line every day
You had time to waste and I'm not sorry,
such a basket case, hide the cutlery.
I had time to kill, it's dead and buried.
You've got guts to spill but no one trustworthy.
These creatures are waking up in these dark trees.
They're waiting like vultures.
And eyes roll back turn white in time to feed
They salivate in hunger.
for you, and everything they need
to make a death complete,
completely unnatural and salvation lies

I've got a book of matches
I've got a can of kerosene
I've got some bright ideas involving you and me
I don't blame you for walking away
I'd do the same if I saw me
I shat the bed and laid there in it
Thinking of you wide awake for days
Wide awake for days
And I found you tongue-tied in my twisted little brain
You couldn't crack a smile
I didn't catch your name
I don't blame you for walking away
I'd do the same if I saw me
I swear it's not contagious
In four short steps we can erase this
Step one -- slit my throat
Step two -- play in my blood
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and
run laughing out of the house
Step four -- stop off at Edgebrook Creek and
rinse those crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers,
one by one
I'm like a broken record
I've got a needle scratching me
It injects the poison of alcohol I.V.
I don't blame you for walking away
I'd do the same if I saw me
I swear it's not contagious
I swear to God it's not contagious
Step one -- slit my throat
Step two -- play in my blood
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and
run laughing out of the house
Step four -- stop off at Lake Michigan and
rinse those crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers,
one by one
This could be love - love for fire
This could be love - love for fire
This could be love - love for fire
This could be love for fire forevermore
Step one -- slit my throat
Step two -- play in my blood
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and
run laughing out of the house
Step four -- stop off at Berkeley Marina and
rinse those crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers,
one by one
One by one

It's not just the pain, the pain in my back
That laughs in my face, my face every night
Or the poison that took my lungs
That keeps me from feeling warm

And how could a rooftop view in London
Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?
Nothing has changed, but now but now I fight with the words
And I can't see so good

And there's gotta be more, much more than this
I got pages of dreams, they're covered in piss
And the poison that took my soul
That keeps me from feeling anything

And how could a rooftop view in London
Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?
Nothing has changed, but now but now I fight with the words
And I can't see so good

it's not so much a storm,
but just a cloud that lives inside of me
he doesn't stir so easily these days,
but when he wakes he goes the distance
in a marathon of days too long
open containers that sing songs,
""you'll never dream again,
but you can pray""
i guess we only settle in to what we know
i guess we always settle in, and we know.
that there is comfort in a world
where darkness is the only thing we see
and cold is all we have to breathe
where affectations keep us company,
where the lies we tell to the eyes that roll in doubt
are somehow out of our control.
it's not about the scars,
but more the crowds that walk all over me
they don't give up too easily these days,
but when they break they go to pieces.
fall apart right here in north side bars
under a sky that knows no stars
you'll never shine again,
but you will stay.

You're on your own my little nightmare
you cannot stay here
It's far too bright for you
If they attack you just lay there,
Play dead dear, it's your only hope of pulling through.
And seconds they seem like a lifetime.
A dream, recurring, a dream that can't come true.
And they'll pin it all on you
after all you've been put through.
""Sadie G. she's crazy, see?""
That's what the white coats say.
Now Ms. Susan A. you're losing
every opportunity to put us all away.
Now run along my little nightmare.
Your job is done here.
You've scared them all to death.
If they revive them just sit there.
Just smile dear. Make them thankful for every breath.
The sentence may seem like a lifetime,
a scream, that's curdling the blood they found on you.
And your knives and clothing too.
Charlie's broken .22
""Sadie G. she's crazy, see?""
That's what the white coats say.
Now Ms. Susan A. you're losing

Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way that you've bound and gaged.
You've shot and stab.
You tried to set them free,
but they've thrown away the keys.
[Spoken:]
""He represented a God to me that was so beautiful that I'd do anything for him.
I'd do anything for God.
Even murder, if I believed it was right.
How could it not be right if it is done with love?
I have no remorse for doing what was right to me.
I have no guilt in me.""

Here we are again with handguns for hearts
They had a master plan, wanted to tear us apart
Nothing to hold, all hope deleted
Our demise has been completed now
Nowhere left to go but down
The flames of hell they give me hope, I drown
In oceans of this tragic part of town
Where nothing's heard for miles but the sound
Of children wishing they were safely underground
We are the walking dead, we hold this ghost in our arms
We take our daily breath and thank our unlucky stars
Tried to get by on bread and water
Craving blood poured from the alter now
Not much left to do but drown
In flames of miscommunication, down
Then out and off in search of someone proud
To translate what we truly dream about
As we lay in this bed thinking out loud
I'm screaming uncle, mercy me
And my broken telepathy
For I'm left with nothing but this bloodless riverbank
West Memphis, please
I'm begging you to stop praying for me
Down
The flames of hell they give me hope, I drown
In oceans of this tragic part of town
Where nothing's heard for miles but the sound
Of children wishing they were safely underground

Here we are again with handguns for hearts
They had a master plan, wanted to tear us apart

Where nothing's heard for miles but the sound
Of children wishing they were safely underground
We are the walking dead, we hold this ghost in our arms
We take our daily breath and thank our unlucky stars
Tried to get by on bread and water
Craving blood poured from the alter now
Not much left to do but drown
In flames of miscommunication, down
Then out and off in search of someone proud
To translate what we truly dream about
As we lay in this bed thinking out loud
I'm screaming uncle, mercy me
And my broken telepathy
For I'm left with nothing but this bloodless riverbank
West Memphis, please
I'm begging you to stop praying for me
Down
The flames of hell they give me hope, I drown
In oceans of this tragic part of town
Where nothing's heard for miles but the sound
Of children wishing they were safely underground

You're in the next room sleeping and
I'm shouting out a song for you
I shouldn't wake you over the furnace,
but I should swear to someone
you'd have loved every note
So dream a good one tonight
I'll listen to the bad ones when they come
Get up in my ear 'till I hear every word
Every turn of your tongue,
I will tighten my grip
No one could tell even if
I fell 100 stories straight down, down, down
No one could tell even if
I fell 100 stories down
I was getting bored with hurting myself
If you fall down enough, well soon enough,
you will find hell
It can't be as?as pretty as we hoped it would be
It's not even warm here, not even ten degrees
This bed is too big to sleep in,
and I'm dying just to feel you breath
You couldn't see across the ocean,
but I was turning over 'till the vampires sleep
So dream a good one tonight
I'll listen to the bad ones when they come
Get up in my ear 'till I hear every word
Every turn of your tongue, I will tighten my grip
No one could tell even if
I fell 100 stories straight down, down, down
No one could tell even if
I fell 100 stories down
I was getting bored with hurting myself
If you fall down enough, well soon enough,
you will find hell
It can't be as?as pretty as we hoped it would be
It's not even warm here, not even ten degrees
Dream a good one tonight
Dream a good one tonight
Dream a good one tonight
Dream a good one tonight
I was getting bored with hurting myself
So dream a good one tonight
I was getting bored with hurting myself
So dream a good one tonight
I was getting bored with hurting myself
So dream a good one tonight
I was getting bored with hurting myself

It's been a long day living with this
It's been a long time since I felt so sick
I took a long walk straight back home
I could've walked back to San Francisco
I used to long for time alone
I used to long for a place of my own
and I'm losing faith in everything
I'm lost, so lost, I'm lost at sea, you see
I used to long for broken bones
I used to long for a casket to call my own
I never had a problem facing fear
but I'm done, over and out my dear and
Oh mercy me
God bless catastrophe
There's no way in hell
We'll ever live to see through this so
Drive yourself insane tonight
It's not that far away and I just
filled up your tank earlier today
Yeah!

A train appeared in town one night
For some of us it changed our lives
A few of us never saw it coming
Then like the fire it disappeared

It happens at a wonderful age
With the traffic lights your mind can change
We made up rules to follow for good
No wonder we're fucked up, some of us did

Tonight never ends if we never go inside
The moon is always full
Your calendar is always pinned on summertime

Were you planning on staying forever?
You don't fit in this hole, or don't you remember?
Hold your breath
Walk, don't run through the graveyard

A train appeared in town one night
For some of us it saved our lives
A few of us never saw it coming
Then like the fire we disappeared

It happens at a wonderful age
With the traffic lights your mind can change
We made up rules to follow for good
No wonder we're fucked up, some of us did

I'm just scared I might never say goodbye
I won't be around to hold you down
Pry open your ears and ask you why

Were you planning on staying forever?
You don't fit in this hole, or don't you remember?
Hold your breath
Walk, don't run through the graveyard

Is this why you've worked so hard?
Is this why you've run so far?
Same place, same hello, same goodbye
Helps you pick through beat up insides

Were you planning on staying forever?
You don't fit in this hole, or don't you remember?
Hold your breath
Walk, don't run through the graveyard

I am waiting 'til there's nothing left
I'm a prayer, all you see is breath
I am empty, I am skin and bones, I'm a ribcage
Well, I'm out the door with apathy
But I'm coming home with sympathy
I am realized, I am shamed, I choose to stay here
You got a sign, so I paid the ransom
You felt sorry, so I felt the wrath come
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
My arm
There's a song I love so much I stole
Every precious note I took, I sold
Now I spit out words,
do you see my lungs on the dance floor?
To a hopeless cause, I sold my soul
A romantic plastic piece of shit you can mold
Until I break into chokable pieces
You got a sign, so I paid the ransom
You felt sorry, so I felt the wrath come
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
My arm
And I open up like the back of a book
I ruin everything with just a quick look
And I settle down like a rocket explodes
Hit the ground, but how far out who knows
You got a sign, so I paid the ransom
You felt sorry, so I felt the wrath come
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
My arm

I am waiting 'til there's nothing left

Here you'll find me in between heaven and hell, my dear
Where nothing's what it seems, it's just as well, I fear
I'm giving you the creeps
And a farewell kiss to go into the unknown

Saw you standing there outside the music hall
You come out for some air, a certain curtain call
And everyone just stared
When you took the stage that night, something's not right

You're up there, took the stairs to the stars all alone
You left all the lights burning but nobody's home
I believe they deceived your tuneful heart too long
And they sing along

Help me, help me, won't you?
Sing me, sing me one last song
Help me, help me, somebody help me
Save me from myself

Here I'll find you in between heaven and hell again
Where nothing's what it seems, it's just as well my friend
I'm giving me the creeps
And a farewell to arms and legs and heads and heart

You're up there, took the stairs to the stars all alone
You left all the lights burning but nobody's home
I believe they deceived your tuneful heart too long
Now they sing along

Help me, help me won't you?
Sing me, sing me one last song
Help me, help me, somebody help me
Save me from myself
Take me from this hell

You're up there, took the stairs to the stars all alone
You left all the lights burning but nobody's home
I believe they deceived your tuneful heart too long
And they sing along

Help me, help me won't you?
Sing me, sing me one last song
Help me, help me, somebody help me
Save me from myself
Take me from this hell

Here you'll find me in between heaven and hell, my dear
Where nothing's what it seems, it's just as well, I fear
I'm giving you the creeps
And a farewell kiss to go into the unknown

Saw you standing there outside the music hall
You come out for some air, a certain curtain call
And everyone just stared

You left all the lights burning but nobody's home

And they sing along

Help me, help me, won't you?
Sing me, sing me one last song
Help me, help me, somebody help me
Save me from myself

Well, I'll sit here to convince myself its true
If you keep on telling your friends that we're through

I've got nothing here but loneliness
Holes in walls and bleeding fists
My head is pounding like a pillow
Like a big black song

My friends and I try to tell me you're gone
Won't listen to myself or anyone

You got on a plane and off you went
You're never coming back again
I'm trying to convince myself it's true
Convincing myself

I'll be just fine without you
I'll be just fine without you
I'll be just fine without you
I'll be just fine without you
I'll be here telling myself it's true

Well I sit here to convince myself its true
If you keep on pretending to have no clue

That I'd kill for you and eat the flesh
Give you the heart and burn the rest
A thousand miles ain't shit to walk
If I'm walking to hold you

I'll be just fine without you
I'll be just fine without you
I'll be just fine without you
I'll be just fine without you
I'll be here telling myself it's true

There's no mystery no more,
just no talking to you
Guess you had other things in store
Guess I felt I was through
I answered every question
as accurately as I could
I don't hear from you no more,
but I get the message
You crashed your car through my front door,
I pulled you from the wreckage
You told me that you missed me
But you meant with the grill
and hood you'd kill me if you could
And if it's okay,
I'll just grab my shit and leave
I won't say one word,
I'll keep my tricks up my sleeve
Flew off of the handle,
you opened fire on me
Put me down, put me out of misery
I'm fatally yours
You set fire to me that night,
you lit and left me burning
Out of my mind, but in my sights,
I saw the tables turning
I had a friend that needed me
You made a wish that won't come true,
nand now it's killing two
And if it's okay,
I'll just grab my shit and leave
I won't say one word,
I'll keep my tricks up my sleeve
Flew off of the handle,
you opened fire on me
Put me down, put me out of misery
I'm fatally yours
I'm fatally yours
I'm fatally yours
I'm fatally yours

Not sure how this is supposed to feel
Cutting like a red hot knife of surgical steel
Brought fresh from the autoclave.
She came, she came with sterile warning
Screaming from her blade,
Singing, ""I want to make you bleed.""
I watched them fall in line, as I fell victim
To double suicide on your television
We heard our records backwards too many times
I'm wasting my breath, we're wasting our time
Wasting our time
Down on my knees, but not to pray
Hit so hard across the skull, it buckled my legs
They told me I had hell to pay
I came, I came too close to heaven
Had nothing to say for myself
I had to walk away
I watched them fall in line, as I fell victim
To double suicide on your television
We heard our records backwards too many times
I'm wasting my breath, we're wasting our time
Wasting our time
Time
Wasting our time
Wasting our time
I watched them fall in line, as I fell victim
To double suicide on your television
We heard our records backwards too many times
I'm wasting my breath, we're wasting our...

I know it's dark here, you know that I'm scared too
For some reason right now, of everything but you
Right now you're all that I recognize
You know I came here when I needed your soft voice
I needed to hear something that sounded like an answer
Now I wait here, and sometimes I get one
It's nothing I'll forget when the moon gets tired
You are stuck to me everyday
Believe in what I am because it's all I have today
And tomorrow who knows where we'll be
From here I can hardly see a thing
But I will follow anyone who brings me to you
For now, forever, for on and on and on
You know it starts here, outside waiting in the cold
Kiss me once in the snow, I swear it never gets old
But I will promise you I can make it warmer next year
You know I came here when I needed your soft voice
I needed to hear something that sounded like an answer
Now I stay here, and everyday I get one
It's nothing I'll forget when the moon gets tired
You are stuck to me everyday
Believe in what I am because it's all I have today
And tomorrow who knows where we'll be
From here I can hardly see a thing
But I will follow anyone who brings me to you
For now, forever, for on and on and on
So go plug in your electric blanket
We can stay in 'till our southern summer wedding day
Go plug in your electric blanket
We can stay here

Emma appeared like an angel
Emma fell like rain
Into my lap like a heart attack,
like lightning from her name
I'm running dry of bad excuses
Don't want to lie or seem intrusive
But time hasn't told me anything, and neither has she
A poinsettia in poison rain
Traded true love for insult and injury
We washed it down the drain
with one silver bullet and two vicodin
With two vicodin
Emma woke up in darkness, suitcase already packed
Note on the bedstand signed in blood,
'Sincerely, never coming back.'
A nightmare on my street the day she arrived
A nightmarish household in which she died,
because it made her feel at home
Somehow made me feel at home
A poinsettia in poison rain
Traded true love for insult and injury
We washed it down the drain
with one wooden stake through
the heart and two vicodin
A poinsettia in poison rain
Traded true love for insult and injury
We washed it down the drain with
one silver bullet and two vicodin
We watched the sun fall crown on a city
that sleeps in a world upside down
A slow ticket straight out of town
You went out with a bang when you took
with you all my dreams underground
With you all my dreams underground

So it began this way,
I can't recall how it got started
So it began this way,
I don't recall a thing
And all in all I guess it's for the better
If you don't remember anything, sit and sing
There was a time when everything
we did seemed second nature
There was a time when everything
we did seemed free
And all in all I guess it's for the better
If you don't remember anything, sit and sing
And I wanted you to know
It was you that we were thinking of
as we quietly died in the snow
A place we'd never leave
A place we'd never want to call home
A place we'd call a final resting place in pieces
So we began this way,
I don't recall where we got started
And so we end this way no trace of us in spring
All in all, I guess it's for the better
if you just can't feel a fucking thing
Fall asleep and die
And I wanted you to know
It was you that we were thinking of as
we quietly died in the snow
A place we'd never leave
A place we'd never want to call home
A place we'd call a final resting place in pieces
And I wanted you to know
It was you that we were thinking of
as we quietly died in the snow
A place we'd never leave
A place we'd never want to call home
A place we'd call a final resting place in pieces

So hello, where are we today?
Still fighting, still running in place
And now the outline of this lake
Seems to be pointing me away

Honestly, I've never lied more
To myself, all over the floor
Right through my teeth I've showed you
Just how weak my knees can get

Don't let go
My spine is slipping like a fault line, if I go I'll bury us all
Don't close my door
Don't leave me out with these mosquitoes trying to drink up all my wine

Do you wanna know what my love is?
Do you wanna hear how my song goes?
Do you wanna know what my love is?
Don't say no

So now it's up to me to wait
I need you to reciprocate
My heart is ticking like a box
Sent to me by anonymous

And now I'm scared to open it
I'm always blowing up to bits
I'm always running out of lives
Running out of time

So don't let go
My spine is slipping like a fault line, if I go I'll bury us all
Don't close my door
Don't leave me out with these mosquitoes trying to drink up all my wine

Do you wanna know what my love is?
Do you wanna hear how my song goes?
Do you wanna know what my love is?
Don't say no

Don't let me go, I'd fall apart, don't say you won't follow my heart
I've kept this deep inside for far too long, it can't be wrong
Only one life to give, I cross my heart and hope to live
With you my darling here for evermore

Do you wanna know what my love is?
Do you wanna hear how my song goes?
Do you wanna know what my love is?
Don't say no

Calling all cars, all coroners, we've got a dead one here
And anybody else receiving this,
the west coast is far from clear
Like a time bomb or sudden death
It's gonna find you when you least expect
It's gonna leave you with the emptiest feeling inside (over analyzed)
They found me face-down in the street
on the night you left to find,
Another place to sleep in rain and regret
They said they tried everything but it was no use
Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you
Falling like stars into the ocean black,
we're gonna disappear
And anything left recognizable is rubbed away with fear
We've got our hearts dipped in time release
We've got the know-how and the elbow grease
We've got our victim all cut up down here on the floor (over and out the door)
They found me face down in the street
on the night you left to find,
Another place to sleep in rain and regret
They said they tried everything but it was no use
Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you
...One but you
...One but you
They found me face down in the street
on the night you left to find,
Another place to sleep in rain and regret
They said they tried everything but it was no use
Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you.

Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you.

Calling all cars, all coroners, we've got a dead one here
And anybody else receiving this,
the west coast is far from clear
Like a time bomb or sudden death
It's gonna find you when you least expect
It's gonna leave you with the emptiest feeling inside (over analyzed)
They found me face-down in the street
on the night you left to find,
Another place to sleep in rain and regret
They said they tried everything but it was no use
Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you
Falling like stars into the ocean black,
we're gonna disappear
And anything left recognizable is rubbed away with fear
We've got our hearts dipped in time release
We've got the know-how and the elbow grease
We've got our victim all cut up down here on the floor (over and out the door)
They found me face down in the street
on the night you left to find,
Another place to sleep in rain and regret
They said they tried everything but it was no use
Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you
...One but you
...One but you
They found me face down in the street
on the night you left to find,
Another place to sleep in rain and regret
They said they tried everything but it was no use
Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you.

I've got a dying urge to feel the way you do
Too close for comfort, bed and breakfast in a spoon
The shortest breath of your young life
A long walk home on Friday night
You made one last stop at the store
So close to perfect, swear to hell,
thought it was you
This bouncing baby boy's now turning baby blue
I've got your pictures on my walls
I've got a long list of calls
I must make to your existing family
You had nine lives and one by one you chewed 'em up
Your final coffin nail's been driven far too much
This won't take long, you said, I'm not going far
Go wait in the car
Go wait in the car
I often wonder what it feels like to be you
A mess like this stuck on your hands with crazy glue
Ran out of time, no kiss goodbye
Wish I could learn to let this
sleeping dog die without lying to myself
You had nine lives and one by one you chewed 'em up
Your final coffin nail's been driven far too much
This won't take long, you said, I'm not going far
Go wait in the car
Go wait in the car
You had nine lives and one by one you chewed 'em up
Your final coffin nail's been driven far too much
This won't take long, you said, I'm not going far
Go wait in the car
Go wait in the car

There's a lightning storm each and every night
Crashing inside you like motorbikes
We toss and turn, sleep so loud
Grind the teeth in our
Our empty mouths (are empty...)
There's a forest fire burning bright
Spreading quickly towards our last rites
Nowhere to run, pointless to hide
Just lay there and scream, pretending to try
Pretending...
Intending to burn, pretending to fight it
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and you burn
This impending doom is left deep inside
And it's haunting you each and every night
Like starving wolves counting sheep
We close our eyes, pretending to sleep
Descending...
Intending to burn, pretending to fight it
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and...
Like hell we are anxiously waiting
Like hell burning silently strong
Somehow we fell down by the wayside
And somehow this hell is home
As we burn, pretending to fight it
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and...
Like hell we are anxiously waiting
Like hell burning silently strong
Somehow we fell down by the wayside
And somehow this hell is home
Right now, this hell is my home

It's about time that I came clean with you
I'm no longer fine, I'm no longer running smooth
I though that I found myself under something new
Just one more line I repeat over and over again
'Till I'm blue in the face with a choking regret
Because I talk in circles 'round you on my bed
Can't say I blame you one bit when you kept it all inside
When you left that night
It's about time that you got sick of me
No longer fun, and so far from interesting
I thought that I found me a cure for feeling old
Just one more line to keep me sleeping loudly and cold
In disgraced with a shameful regret
As I talk in tongues to myself in my bed
Can't say I blame you one bit when you kept it all inside
When you left that night
And all that followed fell like mercury to hell
Somehow we lost our heads for the last time
And all that followed fell like mercury to hell
Somehow we lost our heads for the last time
And I don't dream since I quit sleeping
And I haven't slept since I met you
And you can't breathe without coughing at daytime
And neither can I
So what do you say?
Your coffin, or mine?

It's everything that I can do right now
To not think about you moving further off
with every passing second
And every night of this lonely summertime
I feel you missing from my heart,
a part was kidnapped from my soul
Well I can hardly wait until I get the sun
and your lips both pressing on my skin
Well I can hardly wait until I feel that thrill
my heart that starts inside your eyes
And a song in my head that burns so good on my tongue
Yes I will, yeah, yeah
Yes I will
The night is aging as the sun warms your face
Won't you turn around and stay for good,
the air is getting much too cold
I am nervous and anxious,
it really counts this time
And you know all my favorite singers
have stolen all of my best lines
Well I can hardly wait until I get the sun
and your lips both pressing on my skin
Well I can hardly wait until I feel that thrill
my heart that starts inside your eyes
And a song in my head that burns so good on my tongue
Yes I will, yeah, yeah
Yes I will, yeah, yeah
Yes I will
Someday I'll burn this bed
Only two feet wide, but where
I'll hide for the next 17 days
I will ask myself, 'How badly do I want this?'
I really want this
Well I can hardly wait until I get the sun
and your lips both pressing on my skin
Well I can hardly wait until I feel that thrill
my heart that starts inside your eyes
And a song in my head that burns so good on my tongue
Yes I will, yeah, yeah
Yes I will, yeah, yeah
Yes I will

Like the pills in your hand, I'll never let you down
And like the bugs in your bed, under my skin now
Devouring all that's left of me
Devouring all that's left of me

In the palm of your hand, a resting place
All the guilt in the land resting on me
And we're crushing beneath it, falling beside ourselves
And we're wishing to break this neverending spell

Send us back to hell, we've had our fill of heaven
Give us back our sins, deadly one through seven
Keep us from their hearts, saving us like ashes
Grind us down to dust, we'll never trust in anything we're told

Like the pills in your hand, I'll never let you down
And like the bugs in your bed, under my skin now
They're devouring all that's left of me
Yeah they're devouring all that's left of me

Send us back to hell, we've had our fill of heaven
Give us back our sins, deadly one through seven
Keep us from their hearts, saving us like ashes
Grind us down to dust, we'll never trust in anything we're told
[x2]

Like the pills in your hand, I'll never let you down

I put it all on black,
no color you're all dressed in
And a stab in the back left
you bleeding on the floor
And I'm mourning the death,
the recent passing of your insides
I smile in regret every time
I think of how I spoke to you
I put it all in back of
my mind where I hold you
I'm just trying to keep track
how far back it really goes
And I'm living in lack of the blood
sent from the heavens
I'm just trying to relax as the killer's
waiting right outside my door
What's black and white?
What's read all over?
This tired book, this organ donor
Sweet blasphemy, my giving tree
It hasn't rained in years
I bring to you this sacrificial
offering of virgin ears
Leave it to me, I remain free
from all the comforts of home
And where that is,
I'm pleased as piss to say,
I'll never really know
I put them all in black,
the four walls of my bedroom
And I trimmed them in red,
peeled your picture off the wall
And I'm living in lack of
the blood sent from your heartbeat
That arrived in your neck every time
I salivated over you
What's upside down?
What's coated in silver?
This crucifix is my four leaf clover
Sweet blasphemy, my giving tree
It hasn't rained in years
I bring to you this sacrificial
offering of virgin ears
Leave it to me,
I remain free from all the comforts of home
And where that is,
I'm pleased as piss to say,
I'll never really know
One of these days,
it's gonna catch up to you
Throwing looks like those around
One of these nights, I promise to you
I'll soon be sleeping sound
As soon as I leave town
