[Intro]

I'm scared to death without you around

I'm scared your feet won't ever touch back down


[Verse 1]

Come down, come down

Come down

Come down, come down

Visions in my sleep

A fragile face, a grave for two

Now this room is a terrible place

Terrible place, just refuse

This space is a terrible place

Terrible place, without you


[Chorus]

Dear God, I never thought I'd

Lose this much this time (This much this time)

It's a living hell tonight

But only in my mind

My God, I can't justify

These old fears despite

When worlds apart, one lone heart

Still beats in unison with mine

I see your ghost

Every time my eyes close (I feel your bones)

Will you stay if I never wake?

I'd really like to know


[Verse 2]

Separate, isolate me

One person's happiness comes from another's misfortune

I will drown in myself, if it helps you sleep at night

As the memory of you fades into the light

And I, into the dark


[Bridge]

Let me die in only your happiest of dreams


[Chorus]

Dear God, I never thought I'd

Lose this much this time (This much this time)

It's a living hell tonight

For the hundredth fucking time

My God, I can't justify

These old fears despite

When worlds apart, one lone heart

Still beats in unison with mine

I see your ghost

Every time my eyes close (I feel your bones)

Will you stay if I never wake?

I'd really like to know


[Bridge]

You were the tourniquet that kept my heart in time

Can't even bear the weight that's mine

Now I'd just rather not be alive


[Bridge]

Striped fingers crossed

A girl forever lost

Why do I get like this?

I am a self-inflicting, life-crippling, natural disaster

I'll find peace when I'm held only by the rafters

"Pathetic"

Vapid dreams, come calm every frayed nerve

Soothe my broken heart to sleep

Despite the pain I deserve


[Outro]

"I need to learn to deal with people better. But to do that, I need power. If you want to know where the real hell is hiding... it's inside your head."
