If you're a smart kid

You'll stay the hell away from love

When deadbolts awake you from deja vu dreams,

At 4 in the morning you know where I'll be

Out running red lights asleep at the wheel

The sirens feed my nightmares.

I just close my eyes and I知 already there;

Its already too late.

I know its nothing but lies,

But they sound so sincere;

I find them too hard to hate.

'cause I知 sick of the stabbing, 

I知 sick of the breaking, 

I知 sick of the bleeding until we fall down, 

sick of this circle of death that we dance through 

again and again, just lay me in the ground. 

let's fall asleep together, 

hold me darling 'cause I知 scared, 

and I can't do this alone. 

now i lay here awning my life to a stranger 

and i realize that empty words are not enough

iｴm left here with the question of just

what have i to show except the promises i never kept?

i lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets

because I am due for a miracle 

I知 waiting for a sign 

I stare straight, into the sun 

and I wont close my eyes 

until I understand or go blind 

somehow i find beauty in our failings, 

somehow i find meaning in these lies 

somehow I知 made perfect in this fracture, 

         your back is begging sweetly for my knives,
