Once a night the bedroom light Bleeds out from inside my window Eyes white, I keep out of sight This city's just not pretty like it used to be It's always a nightmare, it's never a dream A promise we made to kill the days between They live in the heartbeat and sleep till the light is gone It's been so long Feels like pins and needles in my heart So long I can feel it tearing me apart To the bed the left unsaid Crawl in from outside my window Hands red and cold as the dead A pity they're not pretty like they used to be It's always a nightmare, it's never a dream A promise we made to kill the days between They live in the heartbeat and sleep till the light is gone It's been so long Feels like pins and needles in my heart So long I can feel it tearing me apart It's never a whisper, it's always a scream A promise we made to kill the time between They live in the heartbeat and sleep till the light is gone It's been so long Feels like pins and needles in my heart So long I can feel it tearing me apart
