lyrics

go ahead & be dead & gone
you’re the girl of my dreams gone wrong
I ran away from a city of rust
I left my life there collecting dust

& how I’ve tried to want you dead
but I can’t help how you haunt my head
when you breathe I can feel the pull
you suck me in like a black hole, black hole, black hole
black hole, black hole, black hole

are you okay? you’re acting strange
writing rules you make, break, & change
I can’t keep track, keep coming back
I can’t tell if I’m in danger

in my nightmares you’re sweet on me
you fight with a sleeping army
they are strangers, friends & family
their closed eyes won’t see you harm me

am I real enough? am I am I real enough?
am I real enough? am I real enough?
am I am I real enough? am I real enough?
am I real enough? am I am I real enough? am I real?

it’s where I buy you chocolate cake
it’s where there is no sense to make
it’s where I keep the clothes I borrow
where I say I’ll leave tomorrow

where I smell vanilla perfume
where I’m drunk & miss my curfew
where I start to plan my days
by when your makeup streaks your face

the world I call you baby in
is where I see your naked skin
& I can’t make a monster of you
the nightmare dimension is where I love you

the nightmare dimension is where I love you
where I love you, where I love you, where I love you

just as sweet as you were rotten
warm like wool & raw like cotton
soft as sky & quick to fire
burning down the all-night diner

fill my mouth with gasoline
something nameless gets you mean
the rule of blame comes as a ghost
it haunts whoever you hold close

whispering, “you owe me something
don’t forget, the winter’s coming
you’re so special, I can’t stand it
that’s why I’m so heavy-handed

look at me, I’m bleeding holes
I chew myself, I can’t control
the things I do, that’s why I need you
see how well I try to treat you

we both know the things you feel
are not exactly fair or real
watch your memory deceive you
don’t expect them to believe you

listen to me, you’re too quiet
I believe you, I don’t buy it
go away, welcome in
don’t come near me, where’ve you been

don’t try to help me, please don’t leave me
you’re the problem, I’m so sorry
black hole, white noise
once a void always a/void

you can’t leave if I’m everywhere
you can’t breathe if I’m in the air
you have no walls if I’m a ghost
I’ll haunt whoever you hold close”
