Ruby Doomsday

I shouldn’t have been here in the first place

Now I’m stuck to your skin like duct tape

I’ll hold you together

But you’ll tear me off for something better

There’s a rope tying the you that changed

To the you that lives in my brain

I’m trapped in the centre

All wrapped up like a birthday present

All wrapped up like a birthday present

I could ask for money, ask for heaven

All the finest things I could have whatever

Is it bad that I don’t want that?

I want you, I’m hanging by a thread

I know I shouldn’t place my bets

But your hands are the only ones

I want wrapped around my neck

And maybe that’s nothing

But maybe there’s something

Close my eyes ‘cause I’m losing sleep

It’s no surprise that I’m losing me

You’re the cross that I bear

You’re the crimson in my nightmares

But I’d be on your doorstep

Even if you’re second guessing

If you told me you were desperate

I’d be all wrapped up like a present

I want you, I’m hanging by a thread

I know I shouldn’t place my bets

But your hands are the only ones

I want wrapped around my neck

And maybe that’s nothing

But maybe there’s something

If we’re doomed it’s probably for the best

But my heart will still beat red

So I’ll kiss you if you let me

And I’ll suck out all your mess

Maybe we’re nothing

But we could be something

Say you want me now you’re running

It’s no wonder I’ve been wondering

If I’m holding onto nothing

Does that mean I’m holding something?

Say you want me now you’re running

It’s no wonder I’ve been wondering

Now I’m holding onto nothing

Well at least I’m holding something

You’re the rot that grows inside my chest

But I’d give you my best

‘Cause I want you
