Eloise

Laid out, puking in the back of a

Fancy bar, you and your friends in the

Front booth laughing at my sweet naïveté

And its awkward gravity

Three years, I saw the decimation of the

World in you Messiah complex led a

Fickle flu to see its antidote and end in you

But now I'm gonna leave you

Eloise, Eloise you never meant that much to me

Baby, please let go, my Eloise

Let it bleed, let it freeze and fall apart in front of me

My Eloise, you took the world from me

So beautiful, the ugliness within you

Last of three, baby of the family

Spoiled to bits and rotten to the shining core of you

And mad with power

I've seen corrupt the leaders of a nation

Stricken with the sickly imitation

Of a love the Lord would never stitch

You've got my cake, it's time to dine on the rich

Eloise, Eloise you never meant that much to me

Baby, please let go, my Eloise

Let it bleed, let it freeze and fall apart in front of me

My Eloise, you took the world from me

Band-aid, just a bloody Band-Aid

(So now, I feel...)

That's all I ever really was to you, Eloise

(...Like a child again)

Just a soldier with a syndrome and dreams of children's screams

(So now, I feel...)

You molded, you shaped like a God who loathes to create

(...Like a child again)

Band-aids. Two infected band-aids

(So now, I feel...)

That's all we were to each other, Eloise

(...Like a child again)

Just a couple of stupid kids throwing a ball back and forth

(So now, I feel...)

Just to see who drops it first!

(...Like a child again)

(Child again!)

Well, think fast, killer

Eloise, Eloise you never meant that much to me (You can't take when you gave it away, you can't take it when you never wanted to give it away)

Baby, please let go, my Eloise

(You can't take when you gave it away, you can't take it when you gave it away)

Let it bleed, let it freeze and fall apart in front of me

My Eloise, you took the world from me

You took the world from me

You took the world from me

You took the world from me

You took the world from me
