lyrics

we get high
on prescribed pills
made for ailments
that can't be filled

with temporary flings
i mixed up so many things
that i should've
just left alone

by the tennis courts
i showed you my scars

as the sun started to go down

medication for
more than i knew i had

to keep trying to be better than i am
i've been with the heaviest hand
the sun goes down on the brightest land

i thought i knew
then fear came and tore me from my bones
im sinking like a stone
as the sun goes down

i know what you are
you vampire
take my last drop of blood hope it's enough
to get through your night

and it gets hard to see
the good in things
when all i see is you
in everything
the road bends
don't look down the dead ends
at the end of this rope is a hope
to resuscitate
and if i could let you down
one last time
id drop ten stories to the ground
that you never read
about the things we did
always against the wind
i'll never turn my back.
dug a hole in the dirt
looking for the other side of the earth

i
can't bear to see
the sun go down
i
can't bear to see
you go down
don't get up till you're ready to fight
you can't start over after
what's happened tonight
i'll take the blame
you can stay the same
there's no other side to my world
ive used my last try on the prettiest girl
the sun is starting to go down.
not a single shadow on the ground (i can't bear to see you go down)

doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

hurts so bad
i just wanted to be the last one
to hold you when the sun turns gold

i know im gonna live a sad life
when it stains i don't ask why
i'll carve new line on this palm
in this poem
