American Lions - Rose lyrics

Wait, I'll do myself in to avoid the fight Breaking your back to turn off every light We snuffed them out To learn to live without Am I a little bit scared that you won't know what I mean? I've been kicking at the dirt so we can make this place look clean Don't you see, what I've turned me into? Decaying, and rotting ambiguity And the warmth of the sun, and the click of your gun Are the two things deep rooted in me [Chorus] You couldn't hear it through the thick of debris Give up on love because you gotta be free Bite on your lip so you can learn to taste blood You don't need what you don't see Wait, 'til 7:30 when the sun times out So I can tell you, I can tell you bout The things I hid, I never really did Know quite what you knew When we were walking down 8th Avenue I'm only dirty when my mind's made up I'm only blurry when my blood's cleared up [Chorus] You couldn't hear it through the thick of debris Give up on love because you gotta be free Bite on your lip so you can learn to taste blood You don't need what you don't see
