lyrics

If I was a different man
I’d bend over backwards
To taste the sweat falling from your hands
You’re nervous
And I know I don’t mean much
You’d laugh the same at me
Whether or not I was your crutch

Cause when I first saw you
I saw myself too

Oh tired eyes
I can’t shut tight
Cause they’re still stuck on you
And that mask you wear
Some shred of consciousness you bear
Darling, I’ll never bow to you

You’re the ghost that never changed
Dead at the roots, maybe your family’s to blame
You fed yourself with smoke
Now you’ve turned to ashes
What a beautiful joke
I caught you staring at my lips
Choking all the blood from my limbs
I’ve loved you before
Left hungry and sordid craving more

Oh tired eyes
I can’t shut tight
Cause they’re still stuck on you
And that mask you wear
An ethereal conscious you bear
Darling, I’ll never bow to you

That middle road is my saving grace
Avoid decisions so I’m not to blame
