Step back, examine your head. If not you're better off dead. Some things just never make sense. Some things are better left unsaid. It was black and I couldn't see. Tell me something I can believe. Tell me something you could believe. Do you need to believe in something? I believe in you. Do you believe in me? I only trust as far as my eyes can see. Do you remember the smell in the air? Do you remember the frowns we'd share? Remember the laughs we lived. I remember the hearts, the gifts we'd give. Over and over and over again, again. I only trust as far as I can see. I'll believe in you if you believe in me. We'll breathe and call it living, love life and the time we're given. We'll breathe and call it living, love life and the time we're given. Everything I won had a price to be paid. And I would follow you drunk stumbling to the graves where your aunt laid. Darling, your heart is so full of hate Everyone goes so don't live life afraid. We'll breathe and call it living.

Never would have pictured myself here; Standing in a pool of blood, staring in a dirty bathroom mirror. So I'm holding my breath and I'm counting to three. I never asked for the spotlight, you just shined it on me. Back when we used to talk a lot. Getting intimate in parking lots. Back when we used to talk a lot... Pack your bags. (Run away as fast as you can) Just pack your bags. (Run away as fast as you can) Just pack your bags. Never would have pictured myself here. Floating with you in another atmosphere. So I'm holding my breath and I'm counting to three. That the death of you wasn't just a dream. A dirty dirty dream. A dirty, dirty dream. Back when used to talk a lot. Getting intimate in parking lots. Back when we used to talk. Back when we used to talk a lot... Never have I ever just wanted to disappear. (Run away as fast you can) Have you ever just wanted to? Run away as fast you can) Never have I ever just wanted to disappear. Have you ever?

Meet me by the ever-lit tree. Where everything is gold and everything is green. Meet me by the ever-lit tree. Where you can be you and I can just be me. And if you don't know where to go, come here. Dance with me under the ever-lit tree. Where you can be you and I can just be me. And if you don't know where to go, come here.

Waking up, our eyes are red Like the back of the devil's head We killed the hurt, we hunted it Made a house with mud and sticks Cloud boats and star ships Sailing through an inebriate abyss They've changed us changed us bit Heart shaped leaves blowing in the wind Let's the forest know we still exist But the city came and built us cancer Agnostic folks with all the answers They made us go to school Oh, they taught us things we'll never use Knocked down our trust and home All we ever really need to know I feel like we've lost everything, everything We've come so far Take everything, everything but the love we made Self-concious sun, flamboyant moon will forget Eachother pretty soon We've met new people Invented rooms separating me and you Now we take our shots, we take our hits To feel alive, to live again Self concious-sun, flamboyant moon We'll forget each other pretty soon I feel like we've lost everything, everything We've come so far Take everything, everything but the love we made Waking up, our eyes are red Like the back of the devil's head We killed the hurt, we hunted it Made a house with mud and sticks Cloud boats and star ships Sailing through an inebriate abyss They've changed us changed us bit Heart shaped leaves blowing in the wind Let's the forest know we still exist But the city came and built us cancer Agnostic folks with all the answers They made us go to school Taught us things we'll never use Knocked down our trust and home All we ever really need to know I feel like we've lost everything, everything We've come so far Take everything, everything but the love we made Self-concious sun, flamboyant moon will forget Eachother pretty soon We've met new people Invented rooms separating me and you Now we take our shots, we take our hits To feel alive, to live again Self concious-sun, flamboyant moon We'll forget each other pretty soon I feel like we've lost everything, everything We've come so far Take everything, everything but the love we made We'll take our hits We'll take our shots Hide our hearts under rocks We'll take our hits We'll take our shots Hide our hearts under rocks
