Your hand shakes and he inches closer Like a snake but the bites last longer Your heart breaks but he's won you over again You're afraid to cut out this cancer You shouldn't stay but you need some answers Either way, you just need a shoulder to rest your head Cause he's all smoke and mirrors Try to see a little clearer His aggressive demeanor's got no end Pray to god you're fast asleep And I'd do anything for you to keep on dreaming And this porcelain's too much to sweep And these old pictures are just bound to keep on creasing You wanna bloom like a four leaf clover There's never room in the cold of winter And they'll assume that your leaves fell right from your stem A seed takes and the insects scatter The first flakes and the nights come faster The earth quakes hoping you won't wither with him He's all smoke and mirrors Try to see a little clearer His aggressive demeanor's got no end Pray to god you're fast asleep And I'd do anything for you to keep on dreaming And this porcelain's too much to sweep And these old pictures are just bound to keep on creasing Say what you wanna say, leave an honest letter Take what you need to take, empty out the dresser Breathe just a little breath, mitigate the pressure Face what you gotta face first off the precipice Pray to god you're fast asleep And I'd do anything for you to keep on dreaming And this porcelain's too much to sweep And these old pictures are just bound to keep on creasing Yeah, you're seven years too late Still haunted by that date Still haunted by that date Yeah, you're seven years too late Still haunted by that date Still haunted by that date
