Burning Down the Nicotine Armoire

And they would follow you home

Until we wind up dead

Checking your pulse

We'd wait across the street

Under our tree

Outside the front door

In autumn's blind embrace

But you wouldn't let her anyway and we run

And we framed these moments

Til one remaining cold calculated thought

Today your dream is dead

And when you wake it won't be there

Today your dream is dead

And sew that smile up with threads

Embrace this hope

And let it flow

You fool

Too shy to know your worth

Hurt from insensitive behavior

You're scared of what this really is

And where this might lead us next

Don't let me go

I feel it

It grabbed us by the throat

It grabbed us by the throat and we continue to breathe

It's how I feel about love

That it's not worth it

Your license

In failure, dreams fall

Pushing nightmares over pavement

Walking these streets like a victim

Writing death threats in the wet cement

You'll say that I will lie

And let me win this life

You won't regret my love

My goal was to

Make you happy at your best

You'd noticed all of this meaningless

I destroy you

Even through

The only things that I have left for your

Condescending eyes looking at each other's

White lies my heart ache is useless

So quickly we'll address the shadows running

From light

It'll take this breath

Denying what is left of us

If you could just wake up tonight

I'd be with you under the sky

With you tonight
