Everything about you kills me.

Cold hands and dead weight
My laugh and your face
And you've been stuck in neutral
Since about the beginning of time I think
Didn't stop your thoughts or fist
I never used to talk like this...

Sing it soft
Sing it sweet
And I really don't care
If you lose the beat
His stories disgust me
But yours aren't much better
I'm feeling squeamish, uneasy
But I suppose it doesn't really matter

You can smile all you want
Ignore me when I say stop
Push the peddle down
And lean back, sigh, because the sound
Is finally beginning to drown.

You'd give it all for one last head rush
Who cares who you touch?
When you got no one left to trust
Who cares who you drag along?
After all I suppose guilt doesn't belong
To those who are already gone.
[breathe.]
You're reckless because you have nothing else to be
You're careless because you know I already decided to leave
You're shameless because you have no secrets left to keep
And you're blameless because the catalyst was always me

You're fearless because your running on empty.

Push the peddle down
And listen to the sound
Finally drown
And your heart pound
pound
pound
I said knock it off
You said
I told you to never stop.
I said
never stop.

I wanted to save you
I wanted to be like you
But you never ended a breakthrough
And you never started a sob story
And saving you was boring anyway.
So down down down we tumbled together
Letting go of what we'd forget someday because it didn't matter
And holding on to what was better
Anything, any face that we'd always remember.
But until it came I never realized the unfortunate side effects of falling too
Included not only losing a life I never valued, but also having to stand up without you.
