you are gone
   but
the pain remains

Loneliness is found
58 minutes later
In the arms of a stranger
Wearing what's left of a hiked up dress
Biting down on a down pillow case
Just to ******* own emptiness

Tell me, tell me all about it
Tell me all my wrongs
I'll take whatever weight I've been gifted
Lift it, mesmerize the script and just spit it

And if you're willing
To follow this feeling
Then you can have what I've got left
It isn't much
But a touch is still a touch
Even in times when I don't feel enough
Burning just to burn bright
Lie to me and tell me it's all right

YOU LEFT BRUISES ON MY FACE WHEN YOU LEFT
BUT THE BRUISE THAT'S THE MOST PROMINENT IS THE ONE
THAT'S STUCK IN MY BRAIN
BETWEEN MY MEMORIES AND MY SANITY
BROKEN BONES AND BRUISED BODIES CAN'T COMPARE
TO THE WAY YOU TORE MY VEINS APART
AND INSERTED YOURSELF INTO MY BLOODSTREAM

NIGHTMARES OF YOU PREVENT ME FROM SLEEPING
CAN'T GET YOU OUT NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY
I'M EXHALING YOU INTO CIGARETTE SMOKE
AND SOON, I WON'T BE ABLE TO TASTE YOU
JUST THE TASTE OF THE TOBACCO
AND THE SMOKE IN MY THAT THAT WILL NO LONGER
BURN AS IF I'M SAYING YOUR NAME

IF I THINK HARD ENOUGH
THE DIRT UNDERNEATH MY FINGERNAILS
BECOMES THE ROSE THORNS IN YOUR SMILE
WHEN YOU RAN YOUR FINGERS THROUGH MY HAIR AND SAID
"IT'LL ALL BE OKAY, JUST YOU WAIT"
YET THE COOL WIND IS YOUR VOICE
EARLY IN THE MORNING
WHEN YOU SHOOK ME AWAKE
AND WHISPERED, "WE NEED TO GO"

LATELY I'VE BEEN BURNING MEMORIES OF YOU
BUT I CAN'T BURN YOU OUT OF MY MIND
WHERE YOU REMOVED MY BRAIN
AND REPLACED IT WITH YOUR OWN
DIZZY DISTANCES AND DETACHED DESIRES CAN'T COMPARE
TO THE WAY YOU TORE MY VEINS APART
AND INSERTED YOURSELF INTO MY BLOODSTREAM

Hello / goodbye
bent on / goodnight
Can't sleep / just cry
My dreams / I die
Don't live / survive
Im losing / the fight
Demons / unite
Take over / my mind
Can't see / I'm blind.
Get in / and drive
Away / behind
we're out / of time
People / they try
They ask / I lie
They hear / they buy
While I / stand by
And whisper / **"I'm fine"
Verse One
Tie me down,
I'm scared of floating away,
Take the crown,
I'm tired of the game of swords we played,
Hold myself steady,
Soul is heavy,
I should have sounded the alarms
When the charm
Spilled from the heart in your hands

Chorus
I've torn down the walls in my home,
Won't build them up so I don't feel alone,
And you left me to clean up the tears you spilled,
Hide the mess and the shame of the time you killed,
Under the floorboards,
You were only bored.

Verse Two
Take my hand,
I'm too frightened to fall,
Beneath the sand,
To lose sight and sense of it all,
Step back slowly,
I'm so lonely,
I should have screamed when you struck
And I ran out of luck,
Yeah the glass was too **** full

Chorus
I've torn down the walls in my home,
Won't build them up so I don't feel alone,
And you left me to clean up the tears you spilled,
Hide the mess and the shame of the time you killed,
Under the floorboards,
You were only bored.

Bridge
I'm busy swimming through quicksand,
The pole balances in the palm of your hand,
Turn your back and walk away,
'Cause you were bored and I was your
Entertainment for the day

Chorus x2**
I've torn down the walls in my home,
Won't build them up so I don't feel alone,
And you left me to clean up the tears you spilled,
Hide the mess and the shame of the time you killed,
Under the floorboards,
You were only bored.
Sitting beneath a starry night
I reflect on the fire of my life
Cold beer don't quench my thirst
So I'll settle for being thirsty
because once you stop wondering
you stop wanting
And when you stop wanting
you just stop
and life just ain't worthy
So while I know the things I desire
what I seek is a goal
I just may never meet
Not meeting it doesn't mean I won't succeed in it
Just means I don't ever plan to put out the fire
