Acrylic lips in black and white,
Pictures scatter the floor,
Screaming it's not her fault
Should we have known?

She took me to where we first spoke,
Masking her words with sincerity
The rifts in the air gave her away,
And just as she swallowed,
I tore the words from her throat

Arterial anchors,
Tied to the pleat,
Cast over side,
Let them decide,
If I'll be tied
Tied to my past,
Praise I've amassed,
Feelings unsurpassed
The love I've lost,
All the love I've lost
Let my future go,
Let my words encode

Oh my god,
This can't be real,
So take control
Take control
You broke the code

Porcelain skin cold and cracked on the floor,
It's not her fault
Here, lets make this easy:
You pour the shot and I'll take the fall

Cover your eyes,
This may sting some

And just under the horizon,
I laid parallel with the sky
Ready for war,
Ready for anything that could take me away from here
And when I measured my will to breathe,
I found my heart about to stop, so just take it away
And just before leaving this behind,
Just before leaving me behind,
My body went to war with my veins
Just take it away

And in the midst of this struggle,
I could feel my arms bending back
I could feel my knees giving way
In an attempt to breathe,
I rewrote all her words

And I swear I'll make it worth it this time
