Maybe I could swim into your thoughts like your drugs do

Paralyze your body, sick and tired of wakin' up to

Burnin' eyes and cigarettes, I'm fallin' through the couch like

A suicide mission tonight, my God, here comes the downside

Wild eyes of terror pray for sex on the beach while

Oceans of kerosene will soak into me

I'm not meant for this world, I just don't see the point

Don't think about it, don't overthink about it

And life is a joke

But everything's ridin' on me tonight

Been countin' the stars and scars

How I'm becomin' a work of art

In desperate times and desperate measures

I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside

A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile

The whispered words, you'd better hide the bullets

You stayed on the phone and talked to me day and night

Trigger my nightmare once again

And it's fuckin' loaded in hand

And we'll let the fire rage

The smoke and the drownin' flames

The bedroom computer light is the only menace

To my new faux wooden blinds

In desperate times and desperate measures

I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside

A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile

Now I only pray when it all goes down

I'll be surrounded by all of the ones I've loved and cared about

And then burn it down

Go!

Yeah!

And life is a joke

At least I can love you, naked and tattooed

Countin' the stars and scars

And if the pain is a sound, let's slow it down

Desperate times and desperate measures

I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside

A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile

Now I only pray when it all goes down

I'll be surrounded by all of the ones I've loved and cared about

And then burn it down

Your serotonin's gone, the kerosene is gone

The sunset is gone, so hold on

Your serotonin's gone, the kerosene is gone

The sunset is gone, so hold on.
