lyrics
I'll take this up with you.
Until these tears bleed down,
A waking sun rises at noon to bring the plague.
And all this shame, I break.
The gaslight reads infected with seconds to blow.
You cannot just say goodbye
And expect my heart not to skip.
Red, Torn and Empty;
Like this pack of cigarettes.
These stakes are deeper then the space we live.
Rip them out.. and call me Shirley.
Have you ever held the hand of a star?
What more do you want?
I can only give you so much.
You ripped out my heart, and fucked it up.
[solo]
You cannot tempt me under this throne
Pieces of this chest are laid down under this burden
Of you and me.
We lay without remorse.
We lay on our backs... but that's not dirt baby.
Tell me, do you still love me even though you broke my heart?
[Tip-towing on these crutches; through these chambers of dust and dawn. I will not touch the ground—for I know this lava is cold. I can only speak my mind with my words, baby, so you're coming with me.]
Until these tears bleed down,
A waking sun rises at noon to bring the plague.
And all this shame, I break.
The gaslight reads infected with seconds to blow.
You cannot just say goodbye
And expect my heart not to skip.
Red, Torn and Empty;
Like this pack of cigarettes.
These stakes are deeper then the space we live.
Rip them out.. and call me Shirley.
Have you ever held the hand of a star?
What more do you want?
I can only give you so much.
You ripped out my heart, and fucked it up.
[solo]
You cannot tempt me under this throne
Pieces of this chest are laid down under this burden
Of you and me.
We lay without remorse.
We lay on our backs... but that's not dirt baby.
Tell me, do you still love me even though you broke my heart?
[Tip-towing on these crutches; through these chambers of dust and dawn. I will not touch the ground—for I know this lava is cold. I can only speak my mind with my words, baby, so you're coming with me.]
