ā° ā tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us ā
ā° ā there are so many things iām not allowed to tell you ā
ā° ā i touch myself, i dream. i pretend that this skin is your skin, these hands your hands ā
ā° ā i swallowed your heart and you made me spit it up again ā
ā° ā i didnāt want to see it this way, everything eating everything in the end ā
ā° ā iām sorry the world is no longer mysterious ā
ā° ā this little tune tells the story of what the night is thinking: it is thinking āabout love ā
ā° ā i want to be like you, my hands no longer an afterthought ā
ā° ā explaining is an admission of failure ā
ā° ā there are many names in history, but none of them are ours ā
ā° ā i wanted to be wanted, and you were beautiful ā
ā° ā iām finding myself sleepless, and youāre running out of lullabies ā
ā° ā sorry about the blood in your mouth. i wish it was mine. ā
ā° ā i wore your jacket for the longest time ā
ā° ā there is no way to make this story interesting ā
ā° ā i want to tell you this story without having to be in it ā
ā° ā tell me weāre dead and iāll love you even more ā
ā° ā you will be alone always and then you will die ā
ā° ā love always wakes the dragon. and suddenly? flames everywhere ā
ā° ā i can already tell that you think iām the dragon. that would be so like me, but iām not. iām not the dragon ā
ā° ā and sure, iāll sink the boat of love, but that comes later ā
ā° ā shut up, iām getting to it ā
ā° ā i thought i was the princess, young and beautiful and in love and waiting for you with ā confidence ā
ā° ā okay, so iām the dragon. big deal. you still get to be the hero ā
ā° ā hello darling, sorry about the scene at the bottom of the stairwell ā
ā° ā i ruined everything by saying it out loud ā
ā° ā i take the parts that i remember, and i stitch them back together ā
ā° ā i forgive you, even if you donāt deserve it ā
ā° ā this doesnāt look that much different from home ā
ā° ā you said i could have anything that i wanted, i just couldnāt say it out loud ā
ā° ā love, for you, is larger than the usual romantic love. itās like a religion. itās terrifying ā
ā° ā this has nothing to do with happiness ā
ā° ā iāve told you where iām coming from, so put it together ā
ā° ā your mystery is that there is something to keep the light from passing through ā
ā° ā i wanted something simple, something generic ā
ā° ā iām no good. iām just no good ā
ā° ā you wanted to be in love, and i got in the way ā
ā° ā no one can ever figure out what you want, and you donāt tell them ā
ā° ā i will get inside of you, and i will ruin you ā
ā° ā i donāt trust you to love me ā
ā° ā i take the things i love and i tear them apart ā
ā° ā can i pin you down and pretend youāre mine? ā
ā° ā my hands keep turning into birds and flying away from me ā
ā° ā do you love yourself? ā
ā° ā everyone got here somehow, and everyone will have to leave ā
ā° ā i shouldnāt have to clean up our dreams like this ā
ā° ā thereās nowhere to go, thereās nowhere to go ā
ā° ā we are not traitors, but the lights go out ā
ā° ā your mouth is heaven. your kisses fall on me like stars ā
ā° ā we laugh, and it pits the world against us ā
ā° ā because you want to die for love, you always have ā
ā° ā you didnāt think youād feel this way with a gun in your hand ā
ā° ā iām always saving and youāre always owing and iām tired of asking to settle the debt ā
ā° ā thereās only one thing i want, donāt make me say it ā
ā° ā you say youāll give me everything, but you never come through ā
ā° ā i feel empty, like youāve taken something out of me ā
ā° ā if you love me, you donāt love me in a way i understand ā
ā° ā itās always the same ārunning from something larger than yourselfā story ā
ā° ā they want me to love the whole damn world. but i wonāt ā
ā° ā i want to see the future, but i only see the sky ā
ā° ā what can you tell me? what can you possibly tell me? ā
ā° ā there should be just one safe place in the world, at least ā
ā° ā i donāt like the way this song goes ā
ā° ā iāve been driving a long time and i want to stop, but i canāt ā
ā° ā this is not harmless ā
ā° ā we are the same, and we are not the same ā
ā° ā i invent monsters to get you to sleep next to me ā
ā° ā does love even care? ā
ā° ā i sleep. i dream. i make up things that i would never say. ā
ā° ā let me name the stars for you. let me take you there. ā
ā° ā monsters are always hungry, and theyāre only a few steps behind you ā
ā° ā i had to make up all the words myself ā
ā° ā we are all going forward, none of us are going back ā
