who encrypted your dark gospel in body language?.

and i’ve learned to live beside it, and even though it’s over now, i will always be reminded.

this one’s for you and your problems, your good day job / your bad karma, what are you afraid of?.

and you never listened to me, and that’s the thing i tell the others.

i wanted you to know, i’ve learned to live without it / and even though it’s colder now, i no longer feel surrounded.

but you were trying your best, and that’s the thing i tell the others.

i’m caught up on the person i tried to turn myself into for you, someone who didn’t mind the push—pull parlour games, someone who wasn’t always crying on the journey back, someone who didn’t feel the low blows either way.

came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke / we used to be a team, now we let each other go, your cigarette ash still sticking to my clothes.

i was your robot companion, you were my favorite color, but, oh.

i’ve got a few of my own, and this throne didn’t come with a gun, so i’ve got a different energy.

what might be good for your heart, might not be good for my head / and what was there at the start, might not be there in the end.

thought i was waiting for you, when all along, it was you with the countdown kill switch, and it was me with the blindfold on.

i was in love with the thought that we were in love with each other.

i don’t wanna stick around, i just wanna let you know.

i still see you when the lights get low, i still hear you when i’m on my own / the parasites in the nightmares calling my name like, "please just let me go.".

nothing to lose, but i would’ve given anything, to get closer with you and all your enemies.

you were my harlequin bride, i was your undercover lover.

do you wanna hurt me? do you wanna hurt me? ‘cause nobody hurts me better.

no one’s gonna save me from my memories.

the same trauma, show me what you’re made of / ‘cause you talk about your constant pain like i ain’t got none.

you never saw me naked, you wouldn’t even touch me, except if you were wasted.
