Darkness
Hide what you think I won't like
Hide what you think I might steal
You're probably rightAnd daylight
You can't tell a lie worth a damn
Can't keep a secret for long
There's no ace in your handSay that you love
Flashes of this tragic beautiful life
Take what you want,
Basking in the fallacy that's derivedWhat can I make of these days
I know that I'll never miss?
Everything means nothing
But there's got to be more to thisAnd silence
Did you really consider this long?
Has this always been your plan?
Tell me something's wrongAnd sickness
Can I see what it's like to spin?
Oh we've been partners so long
Take the lead for a changeSay that you love
Flashes of this tragic beautiful life
Take what you want,
Basking in the fallacy that's derivedWhat can I make of these days
I know that I'll never miss
Everything means nothing
But there's got to be more to thisAll I feel is tired
All I want's an end
All I’m asking is act like I'm not pretend
Please do carry on
Nothing here to see
No one's asking for saviors
Just save your receipts(Then various oh ohs)

Well there’s something in the way she moves
Reminds me why I can't sleep at night
And there's something in her lies that soothe
Like whiskey when I can't seem to bite
Now don't get me wrong,
I ain't trying to say
That anything about this seems right
But don't get me wrong
I guess we ain't too far gone
And I wouldn't lieDidn't I (x alot)
Just another crumpled truth discovered,
Signs hidden underneath the vines.
Will you suffer and obstruct each other,
Why, when you can get on with your lives.
When you need another drink to think things through,
you should probably realize.
That's a really bad idea, i hear,
I even told that beforeDidn't I (x many)
So long I've been running the gamut,
Telling myself this is normal and fine
But frankly, it's getting harder and harderTo convince myself the problem was time
Cut your losses love, maybe that's just the rub,
Not everything's an eye for an eye
So give up the gun, I guess we all had our fun
But Ill regret you the bestDidn't I (x so much)
