Fill me in,
I want the details-
The gore and the blood,
Give me isolation
And I come back like a magnet.
They told me I'd make headlines
And these cuts are surely something like it.
I watch the blood leak down to my collarbones,
And God I've never been so ready.
Take this to the editors, aye?
Searching through city drains,
The white lies are looking clear-
I've got it all down.
The purpose of it?
Worthless.
But oh what a check I'd rack up
If I could live to tell it.
Gossip is a facade,
But I listened and I let it fill its veins with me,
But it must've been too much,
Because the arteries all burst
And none of this paper is white,
I've got blood on the keys,
It's 3am.
I don't feel like me.

We give and we take,
Push and we pull,
And we love and we break,
And there is no fault in falling down
And there is no fault in falling now
You've got your head out the window,
The trees reach for you,
You've got your feet on some garbage,
As the radio speaks to you,
And it says something about dead dreams,
And the clouds are in your breath,
You look across the seat,
And say "this is what we'll never forget"
These broken pieces of a life we've got,
Where the sidewalks talk
And the buildings all exhale,
But these people just walk,
Because they can't see it like we do..
We sit and we smoke,
I've melted the curtains
Into words that you wrote,
Lighters and ringtones
And there is no fault in living low
And there is no fault in living for show
We look and we listen,
Our hearts full of blood,
Catch the light so it glistens,
We capture the distance,
And there is no fault if we let it all go,
And there is no fault since nobody's gonna know.
Roots and the fire,
We hit rewind
To replay that desire,
Hit one time,
Looking to get higher,
Mind like a prison,
Demons for hire.
Where I'm from,
They call me a liar,
Call me a sinner,
And looking back, they probably saw too much.
But there is no fault in harmful mistakes
To fix yourself is all it takes
Lights and the roof,
You're sneaking out
As I'm calling you,
Stars in your eyes
And I'm all for you,
And there is no fault in falling so hard
There is no fault in the roads we part.
Emeralds aglow,
The darkness is gone
And your light's what I know,
Arrow and bow,
We're weaponry now,
Use with caution
Before they find out,
And drown us in the doubt
Exhausted for days
Don't know what it's about
But there is no fault in trusting the love,
There is no fault when insight is enough.
Please save me.
