lyrics

I know that I was wrong
But something channeled slipped out of my mouth
Just to spite them

Right to me through the vein
I was somewhere kissing someone else
And the night hummed

Let me show you dreamland
So sweet it takes lives
I’m the only one who can stop it where it starts
Don’t you know this takes time?

Tried going it alone
Something takes me over, takes me out
Sets me right back

I’m fine. That’s just how it goes
Clouded and diluted, count me out
Paint the walls black

And it's all you have when you have it
And it's all you need, so you think
You can start to believe in a heaven
You can dream when you’re wide awake

If it takes my life
If it takes this long
Please pull the plug
I can’t pretend to hold on
So should I see some speck of light
I’m going home
I’m going

And it’s all you have when you have it
And it’s all worth nothing, never done nothing for me
