Please pass me down the line
Dirty fingers Pass the time
Build castles from nothing
Knock them down to nothing
We stare
Bloodshot eyes Cold coffee
Stale cigarette with no light
Hair put up like a prom queen
Do you remember something we lost here?
We'll cut our teeth on the coldest air
This is how we'll lose a little
The crazy nights in our empty towns
This is how we'll lose a little
If you wait around, you might hear the sound of words escaping and coming back to kill
This endless, black winter
Detest me, then test me
Pale wonder with dark eyes
Pursed-lipped child Plaid-skirt-thighs,
with sweat and betrayal
A mind full of bad cable
Pale wonder with dark eyes, meet me now if you can
We'll cut our teeth on the coldest air
This is how we'll lose a little
The crazy nights in our empty towns
This is how we'll lose a little
If you wait around, you might hear the sound of words escaping and coming back to strike me down when everyone's around, taking their turns watching over me
