lyrics

There's places that I've been
That I never wanna be again
It's my drinking over love
That's one of them
With a calloused heart and a liver in distress
I'm a match amongst accelerants
So please hold off on all your prayers for me
You're responsible for flatlining me
It was a picture perfect life
Apparently the camera got used to it
Took too many photos of something he loved
Now the shutter won't close and the lense is cracked
He's held up in a dark room somewhere
With baggy eyes and greasy hair
Developing the end
Overexposed are all of your pictures my dear
Death won't do us part
I'll drag your soul to hell
You and I both know that's where we're going
So please hold on tight
To those caustic words
Before that filament burns out of that bright light
In death it's still your love that I'm holding
I had this pain in my chest
That you finally laid to rest
As I entertained your lips
To keep you warm in the cold
Baby please just render me
Pull me down from the rafters
And I'll unfold my bat wings
Death won't do us part
I'll drag your soul to hell
You and I both know that's where we're going
It's the feel of your skin
It's warm and smooth like Vicodin
Just enough blood running to keep the moment
Let me know where you'll be
And I'll hold back anxiety
Along with my jealousy unfettered
So please hold on tight
To those caustic words
Before that filament burns out of that bright light
In death it's still your love that I'm holding
