Lyrics

Are we made of wax
We melt into each other
Over and over
Over and
I can't let go
Without leaving myself behind
Watch me wick away

A harvest of orange-tinted memories
The beginning and end of all is empty
I wanna wash this city from my soul
Cool, clear water
Come bleach my bones
Ash gray buildings and streets
Leave my body like steam
Like cold runs from the heat
I defy this skyline of old tombstones
Come and get me

See, I've got promises to keep
(Let's burn at both ends)
Holes I need to fill
So I better start digging
(Let's meet in the middle)

Let's burn at both ends
Let's meet in the middle

Please forgive me
I only blasphemed when
Absolutely necessary
I didn't do anything
Necessarily wrong
See, as it turns out
Death doesn't come
It just happens somehow
And isn't that what freedom means
There's some sense of relief
I'm the only thing that I will
Ever have to be

We collapse
To the bottom
Throwing curse on the way down
We collapse
To the bottom
Does it hurt when I get there

I watched you pass right through me
Swear I felt you like a ghost
Now I'm not ready
To wear you like a
Badge across my coat
It's fading from gray to black
Now white's not breathing
Said, "Glad we got to chat"
I've been so god damn lonely
Ever since you made it back

But "Oh, how's the weather?"
And "Oh! What a lovely sweater!"
There's nothing left for me here
I feel like a hurricane house
There's pictures still lining the walls
The bottom's been ripped out

I'm asking for you
To sink into the floor with me
The bottom of a bitter raging sea
