Apt. 438 - Go for Gold

I’d follow you on the surface but on the inside I’d retreat

Cover up my scars with tattoos of stars and snakes around my feet

Say it’s all for art, these beauty marks but the truth is I’m just lonely

Tired of being a sinking ship waiting for the sea to swallow me

My skin turns black as I light a match to burn right through your room

Dear, the greatest thing about you is how you sleep right through the moon

No restlessness

No empty beds

No plagues on dusk for you

Night is the calm and you are the storm that creates my never ending gloom

Don’t even fake a connection

Only need me to fight your demons

Don’t be sorry for me

I’m just taking control of my life

(Control of my life)

And I’m starting to see, every turned up stone leads me back to this bed again

I’d follow you on the surface but on the inside I’d retreat

Hide my face inside a pillow case and scream at you to leave

(Pull the sheets off of the bed)

You’ve been gone for years

(An attempt to get closer)

Still can’t erase the face that coats your sleeve

Setting fire to the ocean is easier than killing memories

(Wishing now that I was sober)

My skin turns black as I light a match to burn right through your room

(Getting used to your cold shoulder)

Dear, the greatest thing about you is how you sleep right through the moon

Don’t be sorry for me

I’m just taking control of my life

(Control of my life)

And I’m starting to see, every turned up stone leads me back to this bed again

I sent you a message

While I was wasted

Said you should go ahead

And fucking lay dead

I sent you a message

While I was wasted

Said you should go ahead

And fucking lay dead
