lyrics

They're coming to get me as I set the rose on fire
Standing up still, i'm standing up still
The night's ending early and you've still stuck around
Do you know where we go when we burn up?
Will the world still turn by sun up?

Do you recollect, did we collect, all this emotionless, nonsensical bullshit? Can you define?
The line where it stops, can you shake it all off and say "No thanks i'm done, i'm gone out the door"
I've been here before, well

Time and again when you go to sleep
Do you have a friend, does he bring his own sheets?
I'm willing to bet you wouldn't work for free
So why'd you do it for me?

Well up in the rafters where we always sat and played
Chanting up songs of days long gone
We're telling our fortunes and selling our ideas
Of a future that's so unlikely, well your love was so unlike me

Do you recognize the sad disguise, those pitiful eyes are here to suffocate your mind
I hope it feels like an uncomfortable glove, fire hell from above
A superior drug, that gets you so high, well

And now you've lost your wing
And now you've lost your wing

Why'd you do it for me?
