Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna disappear
I'd just sleep all day
Spots on my hand
My skin just like sand
The sun rises somewhere behind the blinds
[Verse 2]
Carpet on my feet
The sweat stains on the sheets
Cough syrup and drugs
Bandages and gauze
The razors dull, the water, cold against my skin
The radio log is static buzzin' around my brain
[Verse 3]
And all these broken plans
These ink stains on my hands
And everyone saves
Their best words for the grave
All these weary morning tones
I'll probably save mine too
[Verse 4]
And heaven's just a long road home
Tell me it's true
[Verse 5]
And I'll go too
I'll go too
I'll go with you
[Verse 6]
I lost my innocence today
I could feel it in my bones
My bones, my bones, my bones
My blood, my blood, my blood, my blood
And I woke up tired, sacred and sad
So drained I felt so bad
Today, today, today
Won't you still, you still, you still, you still
Won't you say, you say, you say, you say
What you feel, you feel, you feel, you feel
I feel nothing but hollow feelings, yeah
I could die I just don't care
[Verse 7]
And forget happiness, I'm fine
I'll forget everything in time
I swear I didn't know
Lord you know me, how I can't let go
And we're not Gods, we're just hacks
All that life amongst the cracks
The scars, the siege that breaks the ugliest seas
The worst mistakes
And everywhere I see her face
Such a beautiful child, such an awful waste
And there's no innocence like hers
Just emptiness and nerves
[Verse 8]
And this light, from the window of my car
She'll never see it, oh my God
And now so surprised, it blew up in my face
Lord, I lost my nerve, oh my God
Oh my God, oh my, God
[Verse 9]
And I tear, I tear, so hard
And I tear, I tear, so hard
[Verse 10]
And I beg and scream, I was wrong
It's over she's gone
[Verse 11]
Oh, my, God
