lyrics

I never claimed to be a perfect man.
I find it hard to share emotion or connect with anyone.
So pull me open, spill my guts, there's a message in my lungs.
Oh God I'm missing you, today. So let's go back to basics.
I wouldn't want to do this one more time.
There's a fire burning in my head and you're the one to put out all the flames.
Sun stretches over dormant portraits of her.
A shallow poison tasting much sweeter than the wine that I tend to drink when I'm alone, it makes me happy if only for a fleeting moment.
What goes up must come down again. T
he highs and lows, the ebb and flow, the sharpened stones between my toes remind me I'm only human and I'm dying here.
