Don't let me shut this light
For the killer in my head
Needs a signal to prove that I am not dead just yet
But burned out and going blue
The salt is set with open wounds
Doused and fresh
I can open my eyes for a second
And hope the sails catch us
I can open my eyes for a second
And hope that you just won't hear this
A shipwreck
An anchor
A slowly sinking sailor
Somehow, someway
Someones bound to stay
It's in this grave we lay
Watery and saved
Just act as if I'm gone
And decaying in my room
I hold a shadow as close as a silver ghost
Grasps onto an image known to him as you
At this fast rate, I'll be lucky if I'm dead by morning
I can open my eyes for a second
And hope the sails catch us
I can open my eyes for a second
And hope that you just won't hear this
A shipwreck
An anchor
A slowly sinking sailor
Somehow, someway
Someones bound to stay
It's in this grave we lay
Watery and saved
One touch one taste
It's enough to make you stay away
Tonight I'm spent
Pretend this razor is your lips
You're finding ways to kiss
(Ways to kiss me)
Deeply on the wrists
I loved what I had
It's impossible to get it back
I loved what I had
It's impossible to get that back
It's in this grave we lay
Watery and saved
(To get that back)
It's in this grave we lay
I hope that you just won't hear this
All night long
I am watching you connect the gaps and cracks which make me famous
I'll pull this knot out from my throat
Recite the reasons how not to choke
(You are the one that keeps me far from asking)
Just sit back
Try not to react to the tone you use that makes me kill us
You cut the ropes that make me slack
And free the tension around my neck
(You are the one that keeps me far from asking)
(Breathing believing)
An unexpected expectancy
An ending an opening
A catch phrase uncaught but still complete
A smile and a grin
The perfect moment
The bitter end
Far from now
You will hear me say "I'm addicted to the sleep you're taking"
I'll cut my throat to make this right
And bleed all the words I've left inside
(You are the one that keeps me far from asking)
All this talk
Has given in to ache from the noise you use that makes me jealous
I'll cut my throat to make this right
And bleed all the words I've left inside
(You are the one that keeps me far from asking)
(Breathing believing)
An unexpected expectancy
An ending an opening
A catch phrase uncaught but still complete
A smile and a grin
The perfect moment
The bitter end
Free the tension around my neck
Bleed all the words I've left inside
Free the tension bleed all the words I've left inside
Bleed all the words around my neck
(Breathing believing)
An unexpected expectancy
An ending an opening
A catch phrase uncaught but still complete
A smile and a grin
The perfect moment
The bitter end
If you can hear this
And I know you won't
The blood cut from our throats
Echoes where we deserve to go
Straight into that red man's hands
Alive with fire and one last chance
What would your sisters do if they happend upon the real you?
See what you have
You're better than this
Selfish and sad
Don't forget what you had
See what you have
You're better than this
You're better than this
If you can hear this
And I know you can't
The blood cut from our veins
Echoes spelling out both our names
Straight into our aching chests
Alive with fear and cut up necks
What would your sisters do if they happened upon the real you?
See what you have
You're better than this
Selfish and sad
Don't forget what you had
See what you have
You're better than this
You're better than this
Slip into sleep
Don't even breathe
Dive into your bedroom
And your one sure thing
Slip into sleep
Don't even breathe
Dive into your bedroom
And your one sure thing
Can someone say
You're safe, it's going to be okay
Desire means we don't need anything
Just a fractured hint that we knew we were something
Desire means we don't need anything
Just a fractured hint that we knew we were something
See what you have
(See what you have)
You're better than this
