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 kill 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 kill 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 kill 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
