about

acoustic version of a song that'll be released on the second album!

lyrics

so if this is what it means to be happy
then i’ll leave & trade for miserable
i think i’m better off by myself
no need to be followed by my troubles
red splattered with ink on your shoes
calling on angels to bring me back to you
breaking my own heart all over again
i see you in my dreams but it’s not enough then

if you hold onto these parts of me
maybe it won’t hurt as much as it does
you’re the only one who can watch me bleed
after all this is an exercise of trust

youve got your lipstick covered cigarette,
with me brushed up against your breath
you’ve fallen in love with this apocalypse
we disintegrate in this final kiss
we flicker & fade, we whisper & wait
we react with shame all in the name of love
i was never meant to be the one to save you
but i promise to never hide you from the truth

if you hold onto these parts of me
maybe it won’t hurt as much as it does
you’re the only one who can watch me bleed
after all this is an exercise of trust
