We walked down the street,
Sharp and cold.
Past the drunk flasher
And the broken boys on bicycles.
London, blue and orange,
Gives in to winter nights like I
Give in to sleep;
Guarding myself against the dreams
That always, always come.
But through exhaust fumes
And chemical hazes,
I still see the blinking Christmas lights,
And the pale death of autumn
Feels like my resurrection.

Electronic beats like anxiety attacks
I taste metal and *****
Which is it?
Or is it my own blood from
Chewing on my lip too much
(Oops I didn't even know)

Smiling so wide my whole face
Hurts.
Don't you see your teeth are red?
Heart thunders in double time
There's something in here
The corner
Open your eyes and see nothing
(But you know it's there, right?)

Crying all night, so the light
Burns.
When did you last feel normal?
Let's ******* stay for just one more song
One more drink, then I'm done
I promise.
I'm not going crazy, nothing's wrong.
(Who's crying? I'm not crying.)

Let's stay awake while the world
Turns.
Don't take me home.
Don't take me home.

Take me
Home.
