the lost and dying lies, the big surprise
i can see the colors floating in your eyes
my foot is pushing against the floor
your head is resting on the door
i would save you if i had the time

fled from that state, too much to go through everyday
a bottle quick to replace the stains as dark as the ones
on his face and wake
in a different bed, a different place
lay your head on my chest and tell me when you can feel my breath
cause i'm alive, cause i'm alive
so open up, get your coat, there's snow on this coast
a night alone is a night that goes too long
and we try to catch the fireflies we see die
lying in the cold but it's not the same
we're on the other side of my life
i'm going home, to lock myself in my room alone
the windows bordered up and doors nailed tight
locked out of life, we've been feeding starvation off, what's right
after all the bars close out and the street is quiet
i'll tell them i made it out alive
