The night gets way too lonely when the whole world falls asleep.
lullaby playing in cut time
fades away so quickly,
scratchy stereo and vinyl nails
a killer queen she hopes to be,
drawing pictures in the ash of 15,000 homes burnt down,
mornings are too painful
but that's okay
the best things are.
blue car, sitting lonely, watching city lights
blue car, i'm so sorry, but i think we've lost this fight
singed flightless bird
hopping across the road
still thinks the grass is greener-
it's not.
brown eyed beauty
sitting on the bathroom floor,
suzy eating breakfast off a mirror,
stop peeling back this skin, god damn, i think i've been found out.
i've got-
backaches,
stomachaches,
headaches
just looking at that face,
i'm starving
for last year's rain, babe
and i swear that there's a voice outside that door
it's giving me these-
autumn shakes, so scared of snow,
whole system vibrates
send shivers through those wires,
don't let them see damp eyes
god, these ghosts are noisy
god, these songs are sad
haunting my hallway
haunting my heart,
everybody knows i love too much.
these melodies, they're crushing me
i swear that i can't see, can't breath
to many
empty bottles
to many
shiny pills
but let's not talk about that.
i've got my
leather jacket, full length jeans
cover up those scars
i've got my
bitter bubble, my twilight mean
impenetrable.
Darling, don't you know
I bite hard,
cry harder.
