lyrics

Every single town has a secret a chest of lies
(I'm too scared to let this go)
(It's hiding our demise)
HIdden deep beneath but it's right in front of our eyes
(Set me free)
(Because I'm too scared to let you know)
Sick and tired of being left alone
No motivation in the undertone
My eyes are burning faster than the tip of your blunt so I'll be
So short and sweet ; another bottle down I swear you'll love me
I'll find my destination regarding some information
That could change the world for better or for worse
But if I could change just one thing
I swear to God that I'll be happy
And that's the way it goes when all your friends are ghosts
--
They asked who I miss more than anyone else
I said "I miss myself."
So burn it down and let me bleed
Don't blame yourself on the word collapsing and turning
I never said that what you did
Never said that it was wrong
Chase your dreams and I'll write you a love song
I need you to paint all the ugly words I say
Make em pretty and beautiful just like your face
--
Talk just a little more I need your voice to stay awake
(Conneticut never felt so cold)
(I need you to sleep)
I can't go crazy if my eyes are open
(I need you here right back at home)
(I need you to dream)
My mother told me to stay asleep if I wanna dream
(Brother so scarcely I need you right with me)
(Please don't die I need you alive)
And if I opened my eyes I'd tear apart every seam
But mother all I have is lust
A lust for love and a hate for much
If much was time and time stood still
A passion for passion could make the whole world ill
--
I need this right now cuz
My eyes are only open to the sound of your love
--
They asked who I miss more than anyone else
I said "I miss myself."
So burn it down and let me bleed
Don't blame yourself on the word collapsing and turning
I never said that what you did
Never said that it was wrong
Chase your dreams and I'll write you a love song
I need you to paint all the ugly words I say
Make em pretty and beautiful just like your face
--
