lyrics

you roped me in with a rosy thread. told me what we were and then left me for dead.

was it all just hallucinations.. did you slip on your own tongue? did you bite it then bleed out and get what you deserve?

and yet I still think that we could have been so great.

did you get what you deserve?

i stared until it hurt, until my whites had turned to grays. all reality is gone, with a film grain overlaid. i could paint a lifelike image then i'd cover her in lead. drop that fucker in the ocean, yeah, watch her sink until she's dead.

pretend you'll be just fine to keep the monsters inside. you'll keep the monsters all inside your head.

rife with passion i could never last it, i was always told that this was all we had left. never look back never back that's what i said, i ran so fast while she lay there lifeless, cold dead skin like the dark from when we were young, i ran so fast while she lay there lifeless - and it was fucking worth it.

i trusted you too easily, my stars have betrayed me.

don't tell me we wasted time, don't tell me we wasted time, i learned so much from all our failings when i look back i'm running from a ghost.
