Watch your heroes crumbling
Two hundred beats per minute
And I can hardly breath
Thirteen hour drive and you didn't break a sweat
Now you're coughing in your hand
Trying your best to hide the red
I got the call
And I ran to my car
Drove as fast as I can
As the hospital caved in
Did my best to hold your hand
Watch your heroes turn human
And try not to shed a single tear
Your heart gave out
But I wont give up on you

I always said I don't know what I'd do without you
Now Im finding out just how far a heart can sink
Into my stomach fighting flesh and bone to tell you how it feels
To see your face in every stranger, say a prayer with every meal
Drove past the church where you cried into your hands
I tried so hard to keep my distance, you said I'd never understand
Well does that make you a liar? Or does that make me a fraud?
I can see it in your eyes, you love to tell me that I'm flawed
And second best
In bed
You lie awake pretending you're asleep
And hope and pray and scream you leach just get the hell away from me.
I am the dirt beneath your feet
I am those tears that you choked back
I am the tongue behind your teeth
And all this time I knew I needed you more than you needed me
And now I can't be satisfied with anyones skin that I see
Under my fingers giving way to my disease
I should have never laid a hand on you
I should have ran away but please
Don't pull me underneath the ice, darling, it's getting hard to breath
All of those words you thought I'd choke on
I never thought they'd really leave
Writing letters on my flesh I'll send you skin till you grow old
You always loved me like the summer, always waiting for the cold
And I'm not trying to make you sorry I just needed you to know
That it's my insecurities that have me standing on your roof

All I wanted was to kill all your demons
Drown them in sound waves and hope that they dont come up for air
I hope they choke on my bones and my skin that I fed to them
I only wanted to show that I care
Pouring ink from a pen
I tried to write you a life that we could be happy in
How could you lose your faith
When I nail myself up everyday?
How could you lose your faith in me?
You came to me with your heart in your hands
You asked me to build you a box that you could keep it in
I did my best to build a suitable vessel, no
I can't impress you
I'll never impress you
How could you lose your faith
When I nail myself up everyday?
How could you lose your faith in me?
And I wake up everyday
And I dress myself in the flesh you made
But now it's ripping at the seem
I only wanted to be someone that made you happy

Priorities

I am the wildcard
A different suit for every side of my heart
(Just get your hands out of my brain
My lungs refuse to breath your name)
I'm drowning in the water that you walk on
Won't you walk all over me
(I cant make you understand
I did this with my own two hands)
I'd like to be someones first priority
But I excel at settling
I'll let you walk all over me
I'll tell them everything
That you told me not to say

Wallow

My drought begins with lips of stone
And your skin beneath my aching tongue
And a lack of light for a lack of clothes but
I'm the very thing Ioath
I always loved it when you sang
And you always love it when it rained all day
So I learned to love the clouds
It's funny how I need them now
The summer comes and goes
Just like your love it always ends up cold
I'll leave little bits of me
My voice still on the phone
And I'm not leaving here a monster
I'm leaving here a ghost
She opened up her skin
So I could wallow in her bones
And now I'm driving off of bridges
Cause the wreckage feels like all I know
Slow eyes roll over
Your cigarette stained skin
Steering wheel in your hand
And my skin cells on your lips
And I'll stick around
Just like yesterday's cologne
I'll smoke away my health
Because depression feels like home
And I'll try and write it out
But in the end I always know
I wrote myself into a noose
Because I'm scared to let you go
I'll leave little bits of me
My voice still on the phone
And I'm not leaving here a monster
I'm leaving here a ghost
She open up her skin
So I could wallow on her bones
And I'm driving off of bridges
Cause the wreckage feels like all I know
The only way to keep my story straight
Is to repeat it in my head every second of the day
