Once a night my 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 The promise we made to k** the days between They live in the heartbeat and sleep til 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 The promise we made to k** the days between They live in the heartbeat and sleep til 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 The promise we made to k** the time between They live in the heartbeat and sleep til 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
