i pinned my heart up on the wall i raised my hand before i talked we retire, with gasoline and fraying wire packed and ready to go i'm not too sentimental to let it all burn the more i learn, the less that i fear the sound of thunder tumbling near our re-do, is what i can give our re-do comes with black fingertips we're equipped, with secrets told in confidence love don't live here no more i'm not too sentimental to let it all burn friendly fire, lighting up the night giving in to my desire to burn it all down, spread the ashes all around we retire, with gasoline and fraying wire packed and ready to go i'm not too sentimental sirens fade in background i'm not too sentimental to let it all burn

Temptation put to rest in canyons deep The virgin snow it moans under our feet Winter's coming through the window panes again Four days to dry out, the fire wanes Thoughts flare with the sound of distant trains Winter's coming through the window panes again Tonight's the kind of night you can't be left alone Impulses hanging from a string One eye on your wallet, one eye on your soul Well, here goes everything

Novocaine 03:45
eating my own tail, blurring the lines i made a bet with my uncomfortable mind tuxedos waltzing on baby grand alibis drip, drip, drip from the phone in your hand novocaine you help to ease the ache, but you're causing me some pain novocaine late night fixations flow from the dial i drank some hokum televangelist style that fuzzy feeling, though not unique rare is the dealer who's all spray-tan and teeth novocaine you help to ease the ache, but you're causing me some pain novocaine this isn't me i don't know what i am, i don't know what i'm going to be but this can't be it i laid some money on a neon red name for seven seconds of a quieted brain lets get together, live in a box, and never chase those crazy ideas again novocaine you help to ease the ache, but you're causing me some pain novocaine
