lyrics

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
