"Don't leave me alone," he pleads.

Watching the blood drain out of me.

Pale wooden eyes, the mistakes of today and tomorrow.

Sweat glistens agaisnt his forehead, as the audience listens.

Pulled a deck of cards from his pocket, who would know he was playing his fate.

That voice calling, piercing the air like a knife.

Cold water, dead skin.

Baby I love you.

But it's too late to reminisce, place a kiss to your lips.

I feel the magic calling.

I hear him mocking me, like he'll always do.

Our bodies are one, slipping and fading with ease.

But he'll blame me, blame me.

For all that he's done.

The night is dark but, our heads are darker.

His wines are mine, dozing off as he cries.

I see the ****** in his eyes, we have to die.

My organs spilling, copper staining my teeth.

Tears flutter my eyelids, too tired.

As everything floats away, I can see him.

The magic, burning like flames around us.

Can't let us die in piece, no you couldn't do that for me.

Leave the money on the counter.

I'll get it later.

Can't deal right now.

Can't breathe right now.

Slip my coins into the payphone.

I plead to see you again, but you hang up.

Tears fall like a wonderfall, my bones feel so old, I'm so cold.

Why do I have such a hollow head?

Can't lay myself down to bed.

All these monsters running around, they want my skin.

Sallow me like a pill, spit me out when night turns to gold.

I just don't want to be alone, is the story he told.

He's not a knight or a king, sitting upon a throne.

A lost boy, searching in the dark.

But I'll find him, and call him my own.

Our brains are empty, bile covering the tiled floors.

We met at a party, avoiding contact with everyone else.

But when I saw your eyes, I knew you were going to be mine.

He's my drug and I'm his anecdote.

We're helpless animals, shouting in the dead of night.

Like little kids, we chase each other to the river.

The moon shinning bright, lovers whisper meaningful words.

But we'll travel downtown, your hollow head on my shoulder.

I scream in the night, my breath getting caught in my throat.

All these kids are damaged, and so am I.

Don't we all just want love?

But we're all deadbeats, you got to admit.

Our mistakes multiply, I feel them crushing my soul.

However you're different, aren't you?

I can see that special something in you, glowing behind your freckled eyes.

Hold me and never give up.

I'll protect you, we're not like the rest.

We can be better, lets just run away.

I know our hate for the world burns deep.

I don't even know if you like me but, we're friends for now.

That's all I'll ever need.

You being beside me, the moon shining bright.

We'll bury your brother, he deserves a resting place.

All the things he has done, that's not you baby.

Escape into my arms, I know it's not much.

Too young to be this numb but, I'll keep you safe.

I don't want your flame to die out.

I scream in the night, my breath getting caught in my throat.

All these kids are damaged, and so am I.

Don't we all just want love?

We're all deadbeats but, you'll never be alone.

Dale works a long day, oh my friend, a long day.

His car is broken down, his head is like a wild playground.

Poor ******* lost his son last year, he crept out late, came across a man who put a gun to his innocent face.

Buddy runs a diner downtown, don't know how the hell he pulls it off.

It's way passed sundown, Dales hands are bruised to the bone, surprised the guy hasn't had a meltdown.

Mary says he has a heart of gold, but the babies face is cold ******.

His wife left him a decade ago, boy must've gone through a crusade.

Keeps in his thoughts, babe your drowning so deep.


He serves food and drinks, breaking dishes in the kitchen sinks.

Some days he doesn't show up because of the pain.

Rain pours from his crying eyes, babe its gotta be terrifying, losing yourself each day.

I'm just a single woman making my way, I can't help but feel the same.

My heart sinks when we meet, baby your vibe is contagious.

Just a poor man who lost everything, you exhaust your heart like burning flames.


Calm down honey, I can describe you in many different ways.

A locked door who buried his key, a helpless goldfish begging to be free.

Those puppy dog blues, get me every **** time.

You hand me a plate of french fries, I push them aside.

I wanna get close to you, but I guess I'm afraid to.

Baby when was the last time you got laid? You can't leave your bed sheets bitter and raw.

Dale I could love all your flaws, but I fear I'm too late.

Somethings already got you, and its out of my hands.


He serves food and drinks, breaking dishes in the kitchen sinks.

Some days he doesn't show up because of the pain.

Rain pours from his crying eyes, babe its gotta be terrifying, losing yourself each day.

I'm just a single woman making my way, I can't help but feel the same.

My heart sinks when we meet, baby your vibe is contagious.

Just a poor man who lost everything, you exhaust your heart like burning flames.


Dale made the news Friday night, shot a man in cold blood.

I watched, eyes transfixed like I was breathing in a flood.

I wanted to howl to cry, I could've saved him from this, possibly even his life.

The rest of his time would be spent behind bars, but sadly it wouldn't be for long.

Babe didn't last more than a week, poor ******* got stabbed in his sleep.

Maybe now, he can finally get some peace.

Grasping his sons hand in the flashing light, tears streaming in relief.

Baby could've been mine, but I was too late, and now every Friday I visit his grave.
