Song: Indelible

Take me to the edge push me over watch me fall
like it was everything to me like it was nothing at all to you
pull me back up til I'm safely inside
when I get to the bottom I go back to the top and I hide
it's late and I'm weary and slightly delirious
the people I pissed off are starting to sneer at us
so slink out the back door and into the car
go get lost in the desert and turn up in far, far away

And I'm sick of your smile and I'm sick of your eyes
when you told me your truths I believed they were lies
still I sat and I listened and waited for something
I never did find it so I did the dumb thing
and simply ignored that the hollow was empty
the drinks that were flowing still didn't exempt me
from stopping it there almost dead in its tracks
but I kept on the move and I never looked back
cuz the face in the mirror just never would let me
the sky was so black on the day that you met me
the temperature falling, a chill in the air
and the needle was calling but nobody cared

It was love at first sight but you admit it was lust
and there's power in blood and there's power in trust
if you're wielding a knife and you're holding a heart
make a gentle incision then tear it apart
like that time in that room that was spinning and red
was it paint was it light were we high were we dead?
and our mouths were so sore from just laughing so much
and our hands were so sore from just touching too much
and our eyes were so sore from the smoke and the haze
though it felt like just hours it was really just days
and I know you deny all the words that you said
though they never were spoken I felt them instead
and I lost all the feeling in both of my eyes
when we lay on the floor and we both criticized
all the cracks in the ceiling, the lack of the feeling
the depth and the breadth of the shock sent me reeling
through time to a place where the space was all wrong
though it started out right it just took me too long
just to finish a sentence and ask for forgiveness
the angels are laughing at angels that did this

We woke in the morning all tired and stale
with vessels constricting with hearts set to fail
and the rest is a blur that I choose to repress
with a knife in my back and a stain on your dress
and the guy in my face who I don't even know
while the day into night and the rain into snow whispers
carry me back to the place I belong and
play me some music and sing me a song
'til the wounds start to heal and the flesh starts to crawl
like the end of the world like it's nothing at all
