looking for heaven,
I found a devil in me.
& I am done with my graceless heart
so tonight i'm gonna cut it out
and then restart.
(and I'm damned if I do
and damned if I don't.)
it's hard to dance
with the devil on your back
so shake it out.

so i pace around in my mind
like i'm waiting for something to happen
and i hold my breath
til i turn into something i'm not
it's a war and i'm not putting up a fight
it's all over and i can't get over it
i just need something to satiate this hunger.

in my head there's all these classic cars
and outlaw cowboy bands
and i always kinda sorta wished i was someone else.

you're the echoes of my everything
you're the emptiness
the whole world sings at night
you're the laziness of afternoon
you're the reason why i burst
and why i bloom
you're the leakiness of sentiment
you're the failed attempts

no,
it doesn't feel a thing
like falling.

it's hard to find the right words...
so let's let these nights last forever.

i'm on the verge i'm on the verge,
unravelling
with every word
with every word you say,
make me believe
that i won't feel
your tires on the street
well, i'm ready.
