the taillights spun behind the curve (that set it off)
so I’m collecting any pulses to help bandage our shakes
cause I’ve heard the flares left a mark written in the sky
that love came and was eaten by the beast
it’s so hard to speak with forms of cadence
when our lips can’t recite with any compassion
it’s so hard to see the beauty
when our tongues can’t kiss with any colour
I’m not the man you wanted or need
I’m the man that you fell in times with
for this I beg all of my pardons
and for this I wish we never united
I’ll give you all of my sorries for as much as pennies are worth
or tie that change around my neck
and leave me to make a deal with ‘him’
“I should have never gone that night”
(I should have never fucking gone)
because I only wanted the best, the best for you
I only wanted everything but this for you
this night weeps with regret
my rust will never sober
if heaven is in you
pull the hell that lies within me
don’t let them take us away (call me close)
lay those hands upon me (rejoice)
remind me just how to feel (in these times)
show me how (show me how) life is supposed to be
before the ink falls from the clouds
and writes us out of this life
if I could sing and never sink
I would have saved us, saved us from this
but we’re going under
into this and out of us, we’ll never beat the end
but we’re going under
in this life we left
