How does it feel to know you’re everything I need? | 1 |
How’s that for job security? | 2 |
| |
Gutless wonder that you are, | 3 |
I really wish I could just defeat you, | 4 |
to see you are residue, | 5 |
smoke, soot, and ashes | 6 |
and you burn my eyes when I look into the fire. | 7 |
The third degree burns go straight to the heart, | 8 |
lingering like moonshine along with the disillusions. | 9 |
| |
The drama and the center stage, | 10 |
so self-centered you exit through the crowd, | 11 |
we turn on the house lights, | 12 |
but you’ve already vanished. | 13 |
It was quite an act you put on, | 14 |
so believable, I bought it. | 15 |
Play is over, still we go on pretending. | 16 |
| |
Apparently you’ve lost your way, | 17 |
for you, cross the street | 18 |
when the red hand stops blinking. | 19 |
Nothing hurts you, right? | 20 |
Purity allows you to lack guilt, | 21 |
Cut the shoelaces from the power lines, | 22 |
done for one, game over. | 23 |
| |
God accepts liars, so can I. | 24 |
Put the safety on, look me in the eyes. | 25 |
Tell me you love me, though you despise me, | 26 |
That you need me, though you discard me, | 27 |
That we’re together always, though we’re Paris and L.A. | 28 |
You have my blessing to lie, so you do | 29 |
and now I hate you for that too, its only fair. | 30 |
| |
I used to think you were an angel, | 31 |
but as the days pass, | 32 |
you’re just another one of heaven’s rejects. | 33 |
Your halo is your noose, | 34 |
and though you deserve to hang from the sky, | 35 |
you slip, it’s just too loose, | 36 |
now you’ve crashed the party, my life… | 37 |
| |
It’s just never enough for you, | 38 |
why can’t you just stay invisible? | 39 |
