lyrics

I felt the need to be beautiful in the fall
And I grew up the perfect storm
So I grabbed a fresh new face and the shade of the moon on the walks around my neighborhood with me
I saw the tears I bled from my swollen sockets
The vampire fangs on the shaking trees
The sounds of the wind mixed into my ears
They told me they're out to get me

I wasn't forced, I was a long shot thinking of you
In the dark of the street lights, splitting in two
I spit the leaves my cigarette pushed into my teeth
The smack of feet on the pavement ate my relief

And I was a content combatant of this sickness that I am
I am, I was and always will be this fucking mess
You replaced those picture frames with a brand new head
I swear I gotta make my way to my fucking bed
But you're the righteous one, the light kept on
The fountain of youth and the hand that held on
And I'm the lucky one, so fucking lucky aren't I?

And you're the guts that I sang about in the room where I died
You're the crashing of cars at the traffic lights
I'm the first, I'm the last, a single breath then I'm gone

And you're the angelic voice that told you I'm fine
I am the ropes I tied around my ceiling lights
I gotta go, I love you so much, try to be better off without me
So fucking dark, drowning in the backbeat
