lyrics

I really know how to make a night to remember.
How to make these fragrant roses smell like shit.
Spent all this time getting ready.
Making yourself beautiful all for me, all for tonight.
All for yourself.
All for this demanding moment that I've brought to tears.
Oh, my Little Death. I'm such a hero.
My armor must blind you. The rags I wear underneath it all
They polish it so very fucking well.

It's a guy like me who you'll remember
when the instinct to achieve pushes you so ever forward.
And it's a guy like me who you'll remember
when you get angry at scaring yourself over nothing.
Over thunder and lightning.

Yours is the face I'll see
when I've corroded up the mirrors with so much hate
that all I'll see is you.
All that will be left is you. Anything but what is mine.
When I've hated away everything else.

Yours is the face I'll see when I learn in heart
the meaning of letting go after years of holding on
has directed my life against itself so many fucking times
that I'm no longer sure of who I am or who you were.

I'll feed you every nightmare.
I'll show you every scar.
Scabs hang from me like wasted years
and somehow you should like this.

What is it about love that blinds and fills the void?
Makes a beaten body beautiful to behold.
Every word I've ever spoken has been sired with a knife.
They fall from a sour source.
The stabbing follows, married to my past.
I've consummated every flaw.
My skin has seen so much blood.
I've labeled every problem for you.

Help me to stay this way.
Help me stay automatic.
Help me.
I don't know why.
That's just what you're supposed to do
when you're in love. Or so I hear.
So why don't you come over here
and sharpen all your claws on what I fear.

Well, ok. Fuck it.
"Shut up, let's dance".
I've got so much to show you.
I'll pick you up tomorrow.
Well, ok. Fuck it.
"Shut up, let's dance".
I've got so much to show you.
I'll pick you up tomorrow

Tomorrow (So I can bring you down).
Tomorrow (So I can bring you down).
Tomorrow (So I can bring you down).
Tomorrow (So I can bring you down).
So down. See?
