lyrics

A lie. a jagged scar
each word construed with malice
you're my delusional
picture perfect smile

I'm not the type of boy
To stay above the water
I like the taste of my
screams against the tide

This world spins lightning fast
and you look so concerned
You're on the sidelines
So stand back and watch me burn

Inch closer to me now
You feel the weight I carry
I'm not a tiny bit
sympathetic to your cause

I find you razor sharp
dry wit to cut the wrists of
everyone in the club
you wish to be part of

This world spins lightning fast
and you look so concerned
You're on the sidelines
So stand back and watch me burn

My life in photographs
Your picture in the still frame
I'm sorry I can't do
Everything you need.

My will is hard to see
Buried beneath the kindness
It's hard as fucking steel
And for you it bleeds.

This world spins lightning fast
and you look so concerned
You're on the sidelines
So stand back and watch me burn
