lyrics
One last look around this place
I kick through broken glass
There’s no more love to chase
Back doors always end the same
I step out to a crowd
But none of them know my name
Blackened eyes and tired lungs
Cry out to the one
I’ve tried so hard to touch
I pray out loud for broken homes
And am answered by an endless season of cold
Empty skies become a “welcome home”
To the cold hearted killer of “this is all I know”
If only in life there were second chances
To make amends and retire our romances
Dying young would be the new black
So drink to all of this misery
Let’s slit our throats for the memories
May we bleed beneath the stars with dignity
This is what I fucking call humanity
And it’s this time around
That I’ll embrace all separation
Give way to sincere attempts at admiration
I arranged a date with destiny
But she left me hanging at the door
Show me true love
And I’ll hand you a heart worth loving
And I often wonder how many songs
It will take to heal your every last bruise
I’m running out of tears to clear the dust
I’m running out of faces I can truly trust
This is the eulogy for my every dream I let rust
“Letting go” was never a song written solo
This is a farewell kiss
To a life I’ve come to “love”
