lyrics

The logic in your eyes
Turned in to tears upon your cheek
Falling down to bruise and freckle
And nestle on those sheets

Such an empty set of words
I can taste the blasphemy
My head is in my hands
But these hands don't belong to me

Do I run
Do I walk
Do I fall away or crawl
Into this wound that is the barstool where I'm put

This drink was working til it fizzled out
And it's bitter til it goes down
To punctuate the things we said we'd never say

I wish that I could find a way to not be let down
Caught up in your undertow where I drown
I'm no knight in shining armor
I'm more of just a sad clown
And everybody's laughing but me

Music in your words
Turned in to daggers in my back
My blood that's on your hands
You used to paint those green eyes black

Such an empty set of words
This hearse the hearse with me in back
I'm gonna dive into that bottle
Where I'm never coming back

Do I run
Do I walk
Do I fall away or crawl
Into the wound that is this barstool where I'm put

This drink was working til it fizzled out
And it's bitter until it goes down
To punctuate the things we said we'd never say

I wish that I could find a way to not be let down
Caught up in your undertow where I drown
I'm no knight in shining armor
I'm more of just a sad clown

And everybody's laughing but me
And everybody's laughing but me
