can’t escape this prison we made
trapped within this safe place
but it’s built all wrong
and I’m screaming so loud
the walls don’t fall
just echoing sounds
can’t be here anymore
with you sleeping next to me
because the space has been filled
with the words we didn’t say
but lust was never love
and we’re so good at it baby
so what’s wrong with that?

can’t close the doors
to this empty room
the walls are bare
with window stains
and my pen keeps writing
as I burn my thoughts
this lights the only hope I’ve got
smoky jet eyes
green tea leafs
smiling while the knife goes in
I’m a fake
and you can’t save me
I’m the monster under your bed
hiding innocence in your closet
our souls are dead
so you kiss me harder

stop (don’t stop)
can’t control (don’t want control)
would you bleed?
Could you bleed?
I asked please
scaring what you don’t have
the pieces still lay on the ground
but baby don’t worry
because we don’t need
we don’t seek what lovers do
our heart was ripped out long ago
we feed off the unwritten souls

and I just want to quit
because I can’t go on
their smiles shine too bright
but mine doesn’t fit
true happiness can’t be found
I’ve been searching now for days on end
my wounds are only bigger
my body’s getting weak
lost all the words I could ever speak
because we’ve had our fun
and it’s time to end
sorry I lost you
so close, and yet we faded out

just remember this
sweet love of mine
can’t escape what we did this time
too wrapped in what was going on
we drowned ourselves
just to be seen
and they didn’t come to rescue
just shed their tears
they knew we were doomed (doomed from the start)
the whispers and the lies
were close behind
we let them in, assumed we were strong
we ate them up and smoked them out
but fears dance a fiery doubt
we got to close, even when we knew
permanent was never the word
we were never meant to be
together but alone
too afraid to die without someone beside us
