i've got the scars from tomorrow and i wish you could see that you're the antidote to everything except for me

i thought i knew better, i thought it would get better

your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one

if my heart is a grenade, you pull the pin and say

i'll be the watcher of the eternal flame

altar boys, altered boys, we're the things that love destroys

the ribbon on my wrist says, "do not open before christmas"

i don't care, i just gotta figure out a window to break out

and there's no way to talk to you

i'm the last one that you'll ever remember

and the record won't stop skipping, and the lies just won't stop slipping

never the same person when i go to sleep as when i wake up

oh, their faces are dancing, they're dancing 'til, 'til they can't stand it

are all the good times getting gone? they come and go and go and come and go

i will never believe in anything again

i just want to fill you up with such dread, let you suck it out, let you suck it out 'til i'm dry and dead

you, me, us, them, we're just resurrection men

mr. sandman showing his beam, when he walks into the room, the walls lean in to listen

on the bright side, got the wrong insides

maybe i bit off more than i could chew, overhead of the aqua blue

inscribed like stone and faded by the rain: "give up what you love, give up what you love before it does you in"

tell me, when the party ends, will you still love who i am?

we're the kids you used to love, but then we grew old

i think our heads were just that close, the sweetness never lasts, you know

i didn't come for a fight, but i will fight to the ending

and there's a fog from the past that's giving me such a headache

walking out on the show is walking out on you

take the pain, make it billboard big, then swallow it for me

wearing our vintage misery, no, i think it looked a little better on me

oh hell yes, the drugs just make me reset

i'm just here flying of the deep end, i'm just here to become the best yet

the battle's only halfway done, i might look young but i'm no less defeated

i figured somehow by now i would've got it together

welcome to the demolition derby that is my heart

i've got the scars from tomorrow and i wish you could see that you're the antidote to everything except for me

and this is you and me, and me and you, until we've got nothing left

talking to the mirror, say, "save your breath, half your life you've been hooked on death"

call it a night when the booze hits (sorry)

born under a bad sign, you saved my life that night on the roof of your hotel

they'll say it's not worth it, so we'll leave this town in ruin

one foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door

don't pretend you ever forgot about me

scuba diving in the wishing well just trying to save myself

let's play this game called "when you catch fire, i wouldn't piss to put you out"

we're traveled like nomads, only with worse luck and far less gold

i just want to be better than your, your head's only medicine

sometimes you wonder if we're ever looking back at a picture of 2019 and saying, "that's the way, the world, it used to be before our dreams started bursting at the seams"

i am god's gift, but why would he bless me with such wit without a conscience equipped?

'cause we could be immortals, immortals, just not for long, for long

but we never stood a chance and i'm not sure if it matters
