Same...

I told ambitious lies

&

Dreams of stories from past lives

 

Breathed out months ago

In the moths wing down below

 

From here to eternity

 

All will be remedied in remembrance

 

If I could just remember

how it went again

things would be different and

I could go back to the way things were and

then it may be quite possible to

breathe again, breathe again; maybe quite possible to breathe again, breathe again

 

I’ve been living in sin and I can’t quite keep up with what I’ve been living in

All this momentum is keeping me thin

Drinking again - still drunk and I’m not giving a **** about you or us

 

Watch me spin

 

Out of control

Out of control

 

Into your arms

Of sweet release and emptiness

The emptiness is eating my skin

Eating away at my better half

 

Let me loose so I can begin to sin again
