Be sure to read this

I promise its classic

about all the lovers

triumphant and tragic

I found a new habit

I stole you a ring

I stole us a car

and dropped everything

we ran off to boston

we hated it there

in that shithole apartment

so high in the air

with bars on the doors

always on guard

but youd smile and say

that the sky is our yard

money was tight

but i was in love

our new salvation

was founded in blood

my father once gave me

ten words i could keep

"they never fight back

if they die in there sleep"

so i made a life out of

sneaking inside

first making sure there

was no one alive

i kind of enjoyed

the new life i had found

robbing a house

and then burning it down

you probably think

that im some kind of freak

but when monsters get hungry

we must eat the weak

me and my girl

we took an oath

that if we were caught

we would slit our own throats

or jump from the room

to boston below

because of our love

this is how we would go

this evening was crazy

it really came true

i made the leap

and then waited for you

im screaming your name

but you only cry

and look at my body

from up in the sky

i kept my promise but

yours was a lie

now youll rot in prison

as i learn to fly

as i learn to fly

and you learn to fight

youll wish you had jumped

into boston that night
