That's our blood down there
it seems poured from the hands of angels
then trickles into the ground
leave this warehouse so bare and empty
then my heart's numbered beat
still echoes in this empty room
and the fear wells in me
'til nothing seems big enough to defend...

Nice car! Where'd you get your ride?
A trophy, badge of honor, overcompensation?
price tags; advertise your pride
since when did what we pay for colored cloth
gauge our gravity?

yeah, you've got your little world
picture perfect; it's a pearl
now go and try to sleep in the bed you've made

the state of love and trust
as I busted down the pretext
sin still plays and preaches
but to have an empty court
and the signs are passing
grab the wheel, I can't read it
sacrifice receiving the smell that's on my hands

and I listen for the voice inside my head
nothing; I'll do this one myself

So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
this one
this form I hold now
embracing you
this reality here
this one
this form I hold now
so wide-eyed and hopeful
wild-eyed and hopefully wild

I'd drown my beliefs
to have you be in peace
I'd dress like your niece
and wash your swollen feet

just don't leave
don't leave

I'm not living
I'm just killing time
your tiny hands
your crazy kiss and smile

just don't leave
don't leave

and true love waits
in haunted attics
and true love wins
on lollipops and crisps

just don't leave
don't leave...

wear the grudge like a crown of negativity
calculate what we will and will not tolerate
desperate to control all and everything
unable to forgive, this Scarlet Letter man

clutch it like a cornerstone
otherwise it all comes down
justify denials and grip 'til the lonesome end
clutch it like a cornerstone
otherwise it all comes down
terrified of being wrong
an ultimatum prison cell
