lyrics

I wish somebody told me when the time was right that an honest life was the hardest one to live.
When I get drunk I start to pick petty fights, when I should just forget it, yeah, forget and forgive.
The only thing that's keeping us alive is a suture, I pray to every god I know that we make it through.
I only get mad when I think of the future, I only get sad when I think of you.

I was always a funeral, baby you were Halloween,
I got some stains on this heart that no love can clean.
You were always a calm sea and I was this great big wave,
just hoping that when I roll by, there’s something left to save.

I try so hard not to look like I’m dying and then try even harder not to look I’m trying.
Get so caught up in the stories I make that sometimes even I don’t know when I’m lying.
One day I will put all my cards on the table, one day soon I’m gonna have to come clear.
But I’m all dressed up and ready to go. Tonight hell is empty, all the devils are here.
