VERSE ONE:

Last night i found her hiding in my sheets,
I felt alive while I was dying in my sleep,
We're dead enough to smile when we weep,
Pretending we don't see the skeletons and spiders in our teeth,
And I still hear the nemesis inside me when I speak,
And I still lack the effort left for guidance when I'm weak,
Don't sink,
Cause we were never wired for defeat,
Fire underneath the skin with bloody diamonds in the street,
Walk softly,
And move fourth little pseudomorph,
A forfeited human corpse,
An orphan and too deformed to forget the uniform of torture that you adorned and you perform in like it never tormented you before,
So are you undecided yet?
Still a caterpillar hiding from the butterfly effects?
Is their ugliness still ugly when its covered by the flesh and will you ever see the colors that the other side reflects?
I don't know,
It's just a picture that the past takes,
Fixtures of magnificence in figments when the glass breaks,
Ignorance forgiven how we slither in our ashtrays,
Sifting our forbiddens as we listen to the catch phrase,
In every suicidal thought I've earned,
I gave my world to them just so I could watch mine burn,
So speak to me,
I'll pretend I never lost my words,
I'd go with you but I know that it's just not my turn,
In every suicidal thought I've earned,
I gave my world to them just so I could watch mine burn,
So speak to me,
I'll pretend I never lost my words,
I'd go with you but I know that it's just not my turn...

CHORUS:

This is our life just flashes for my eyes,
Easy to give up when it's crashing down but wait,
Flashes can be light,
Just wait,
Flashes of you and I,
This is our life just flashes for my eyes,
Easy to give up when it's crashing down but wait,
Flashes can be light,
Just wait,
Flashes of you and I...

VERSE TWO:

Slow rain the way their plots build,
It's the virus hidden underneath my eyelids in my thoughts still,
There's cocaine up in the nostrils,
We'll taste the blood like it was painted on our fangs as the drops spilled,
Set decline without a step to climb,
I suffocated all my fears with every breath of mine I left behind,
They'll feed us life and keep our deaths defied until there's nothing left but time to carry weight we bared on our decrepit spines and weathered floors,
So tell me more about your cellar doors and how you know where heaven is but never been to hell before,
Sell me faith,
I'll make believe I never felt it more,
I'll give you all my hate so you can breathe it in and welcome yours,
So devoted,
They bleed but no one noticed,
They're all prisoners to greed but I'm still free to float below it when I sink,
I know you think this killing spree is so heroic but the justice only waits for villainry to overthrow it,
And so I hang along the day diminished,
Knowing that the sun was only waiting on the rain to finish,
And when it does we'll be complacent in or space of privilege,
trying to save that faded-image faith the world erased within us,
In every suicidal though we've earned,
We gave our world to them just so we could watch ours burn,
So speak to us,
We'll pretend we never lost our words,
We'd go with you but we know that it's just not our turn....

CHORUS:

This is our life just flashes for my eyes,
Easy to give up when it's crashing down but wait,
Flashes can be light,
Just wait,
Flashes of you and I,
This is our life just flashes for my eyes,
Easy to give up when it's crashing down but wait,
Flashes can be light,
Just wait,
Flashes of you and I...
