[Verse 1]
Maybe I could swim into your thoughts like your d** do
Paralyze your body, sick and tired of waking up to
Burning eyes and cigarettes
I’m falling through the couch like a suicide mission tonight
My God, here comes the downside
Wild eyes of terror pray for s** on the beach while
Oceans of kerosene will soak into me
I'm not meant for this world, I just don't see the point
Don’t think about it, don’t over think about it
And life is a joke, but everything’s riding on me tonight
Been counting the stars and scars
How I’m becoming a work of art
[Chorus]
Desperate times and desperate measures
I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside
A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile
[Verse 2]
The whispered words “You’d better hide the bulletsâ€
You stayed on the phone and talked to me day and night
Trigger my nightmare once again
It’s f**ing loaded in hand
And we’ll let the fire rage
The smoke and the drowning flames
My bedroom computer light is the only menace to my new faux wooden blinds
[Chorus]
Desperate times and desperate measures
I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside
A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile
[Bridge]
Now, I only pray when it all goes down
I’ll be surrounded by all of the ones I've loved and cared about
And then burn it down
[Verse 3]
And life is a joke
At least I can love you, naked and tattooed
Counting the stars and scars
And if the pain is a sound, let’s slow it down
[Chorus]
Desperate times and desperate measures
I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside
A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile
[Bridge]
Now, I only pray when it all goes down
I’ll be surrounded by all of the ones I've loved and cared about
And then burn it down
[Outro]
Your serotonin's gone
The kerosene is gone
The sunset is gone
So hold on
