Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Maybe I could swim into your thoughts like your drugs do
Paralyze your body, sick and tired of wakin' up too
Burnin' eyes and cigarettes, I'm fallin' through the couch like
A suicide mission tonight, my God, here comes the downside
[Verse 2]
Wild eyes of terror pray for sex on the beach while
Oceans of kerosene will soak into me
I'm not meant for this world, I just don't see the point
Don't think about it, don't overthink about it
[Verse 3]
And life is a joke
But everything's ridin' on me tonight
Been countin' the stars and scars
How I'm becomin' a work of art
[Verse 4]
In desperate times and desperate measures
I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside
A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile
[Verse 5]
The whispered words, you'd better hide the bullets
You stayed on the phone and talked to me day and night
Trigger my nightmare once again
And it's fuckin' loaded in hand
[Verse 6]
And we'll let the fire rage
The smoke and the drownin' flames
The bedroom computer light is the only menace
To my new faux wooden blinds
[Verse 7]
In desperate times and desperate measures
I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside
A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile
[Verse 8]
Now I only pray when it all goes down
I'll be surrounded by all of the ones I've loved and cared about
And then burn it down
Go!
Yeah!
[Verse 9]
And life is a joke
At least I can love you, naked and tattooed
Countin' the stars and scars
And if the pain is a sound, let's slow it down
[Verse 10]
Desperate times and desperate measures
I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside
A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile
[Verse 11]
Now I only pray when it all goes down
I'll be surrounded by all of the ones I've loved and cared about
And then burn it down
[Verse 12]
Your serotonin's gone, the kerosene is gone
The sunset is gone, so hold on
Your serotonin's gone, the kerosene is gone
The sunset is gone, so hold on...
