lyrics

I'm stuck between
Sincerity and apathy
Between giving everything and
Living carelessly completely

Everyone and everything is quite adept at ripping out my fucking heart strings

I'm the house
you passed every day.
The one that you don't see
until it's smoldering
and burned to the ground

Darling you're Mr. Blonde
And you've left me gashed, hacked and slashed
And doused in gasoline

We're all burned blackened sheep
Abandoned like these broken homes we see

I'm a black sheep
But you'll never notice me

When the world breaks the boy
patchy like bad poetry
He'll say "I still have some lines left in me"

It's those messy last words you wish that you hadn't spoke
And it's that last cigarette you swore you'd never smoke
