lyrics

In pieces we hang
Bats in a cave
Swinging through sleep
Dreaming though day
To wake at night and prey but I’m not proud
This blood on my hands is evidence for these sins now

When I said I wanted to die, I meant it
When I said I loved you so, I meant it
Lines and lies bending through truth intended
I’d give you everything I had if I hadn’t spent it

You harmless joke
You catastrophe
I hang from your symmetry
You dead weight on my memory
I shame to fake a cancer aches
My sheets wear your stain; my teeth share your taste

When I said I wanted to die, I meant it
When I said I loved you so, I meant it
Lines and lies bending through truth intended
I’d give you everything I had if I hadn’t spent it

Hell is so welcoming with mats out
Heathens dancing in the windows of a winter house
Shapes and shades spinning in a perfect motion locked
Am I the ballerina in the center of your jewelry box?

When I said I wanted to die, I meant it
When I said I loved you so, I meant it
Lines and lies bending through truth intended
I’d give you everything I had if I hadn’t spent it

Hell is so welcoming with mats out
Heathens dancing in the windows of a winter house
Shapes and shades spinning in a perfect motion locked
Am I the ballerina in the center of your jewelry box?
