Lyrics
you singed your fingers in the coals of the fire
you said you were looking for gold
a half-assed alchemist, a second place prize that doesn’t exist
yeah, this vanishing act is getting old
but you said that you’d have my back
i guess i should have know that was a lie
you’ve done this shit before and you’ll do this shit again
and i’ll probably just forgive you ever time
you can’t go across if i never drew a line
the tv’s still on but the movie’s over
i don’t remember what it was
all wrapped in cotton sheets, there’s stains that didn’t come from me
i’ve never been in this bed before
viewing the world with a sideways slant
there’s static ‘round the edges of the frame
i hope i don’t remember this in the morning
it’s morning now, and it haunts me when i wake
in a bed with a man’s arm around me while i try not to shake
hysteric apologetics, you probably meant it when you said it
but that feeling wore off pretty quick
there’s patterns here, and i have known them
it shouldn’t shock me when you follow them and abandon me for some dick
i’d just fucking kill him if i could
that’d solve the problem for us both
i guess i thought, after the years we spent together, our friendship wouldn’t have so many holes
we cut them ourselves cause it made us feel less alone
yeah, we cut them ourselves cause it made us feel less alone
