lyrics

v1:
pills on the counter
blankets on
barely breathing
lifeless and cold

blue light, blinking
body won't move
guess you're gone

phone waves dancing
hours shift
guess she's still up

wet rims,
sky's grey
last time to see the sun

eh uh
eh uh ah

v2:
wind is colder
lights are low
the world just seems so empty now

wedding bells,
birthday spells
life keeps on moving
couldn't tell

take the car
hit the bars
drinking so i don't feel alone

fuck a stranger
couldn't take it
shameful kisses in the dark


chorus2:
if this cannot pass, you will will be done
then again he came, sorrow song is sung


v3/bridge:
I didn't want this, it's not what you said
it's not what the deal was
I didn't come here for this
I spend my whole life in pursuit of your vision
and now that you're finished,
I have no one to share it with, if it's
torment you're after, or repentance, or grace
I'll reject every offer just to spit in your face
what the fuck were you thinking, do you kill just for fun
or are you some kind of masochist, a boy with a gun?
