A Lot Like Birds
The Blowtorch Is Applied To The Sugar
Let me down easy
There's no reason to tease me
If you don't need me, please let me go
Playing with my dreams? Not anymore
Time is dancing on my chest
And it's casting stones, it's casing parts
Each one of them antagonist
And I'm trying to feed the wasp inside my mouth, it's dying
I'm not sure that it wants to live
Oh well

Hail the insane and deranged
It wasn't my embrace, it's yours
Now I'm trying to walk the straightest line
Now it's time
I wanted you forever and ever
Now it's never again, never
I wanted you forever and ever
And now it's never again, never

Oh, how your hands used to shake
Tremble and threaten to break
If they weren't encased in mine
Telling you that it'll be just fine
I could've had it forever and ever
Now it's never again, never
I could've had it forever and ever
Now it's never again, never
I would have thrown it all away for you
And actually did, it's all around me
But I can't pick it up
'cause I gave you all what was left of my strength

Love's a many splendored thing, an often vendored thing
If love was just a movie about war, it's the surrender scene
You think you've got it figured out?
I didn't say that, I've got doubts
I said I've lost my faith in love
There's still a way to find it
How? I might've cared for it at first
Now that I've buried it, my thirst is met in bars
And not the fake embrace of needy arms
That isn't true, I've seen your heart
You didn't see that it was charred?
There was a fire, that's a start
The fire's gone and now it's dark

Please turn on the lights
Please turn on the lights

I think I'm still fucked up
Time didn't heal me, oh god
I think I'm still fucked up
Time didn't heal me, oh
I think I'm still fucked up
Time didn't heal me, oh god
You were a fever dream, but you never broke or went away
