and i’ve got eternities and bridges to burn.
if the thought i had innocence to spare crossed your mind
you’ve got rude awakenings and tragedies to learn.
so bite your tongue while i bite your vampire lips
cause the sun is strong and we’re just waiting-out the sky to turn.
there are kingdom-come-down lites in your eyes
the medicine you gave was just poison in disguise
the things I couldn’t live without you’re still alive to sell
and you tried your best and i tried my best and we just tried ourselves to hell
these revelation skies have found me
and i found you out
i’ve grown much too old or just too god damn resistant
to let these passing glancers have a piece of me.
you had the thought my better side of bleeding was erased
but i was summer scarred and far too close to being free.
so let me be the lesser man and count you where it hurts the most
these days are gonna find us all, but this isn’t the way it has to be.
let these vanilla skies fall down
before I shake them loose
let this crippled soul stand straight
before he ties his noose
let us feel okay
before we get to you
and let me forgive you in advance
for never, ever coming through
there are kingdom-come-down lites in your eyes
the medicine you gave was just poison in disguise
the things I couldn’t live without you’re still alive to sell
and you tried your best and i tried my best and we just tried ourselves to hell
these revelation skies have found me
and i found you out
