lyrics

this is where I'll stay
in a gas station parking lot
keeping time with a broken clock
from the driver's seat
the people look like rain
wanna crawl deep inside of them
a virus in every limb
a black little seed
that burrows deep in their brains
and falls like snow in their veins

you said that you love me
actually love me
but I'm getting worried
that I am too heavy
to carry around
like a cross on your neck
black hole in your chest
your greatest regret

what do you need?
where do you want to be?
I tried so hard to be yours
that I've got nothing left for me
and I know I've been so bad lately
if you just stay maybe
we can glue ourselves
together again

when I was looking for you
i was digging through a pillbox
handfuls of capsules designed
to turn my mind off
but I am alone
with a bottle and a bad thought
praying to something
and trying to turn the lights on
