Don't tell the police she begged
You can't tell anyone
What you know is our little secret
and I'm trusting you to keep it
What the hell did I expect when I
Left your hands around my neck
Could have been spared
from all the damage that you did when I
Buried my heart in your skin
Fuck, here she comes again
Wearing makeup on her dress
Empty bottle in her hand
Screaming about some vapid man
and all you've become is a syndicated re-run
of some melodramatic shit
and I'm sick of watching it
What I'm trying to say
is I think my life would be much better if you were dead
Disguise yourself as treasure
Washed up by the tides of someone better
You're just a parasite
It's your basic nature
Faking every trait
The perfect liar
Surround yourself with stardom
When all that you've accomplished
is spending your parent's money to travel the world
You're a selfish little girl
Wearing the mask of a woman
One day this will all be yours,
An empty room and unlocked doors
Don't tell the police begged
You can't tell anyone at all
What you know is our little secret
and I'm trusting you to keep it to yourself
Let it melt your bones until you can't get out of bed
I'm so lucky to have you to help me get through this

I am the audience
I am a spectator to
My own tragic mistakes
That I was free to make
My life completely in my trembling hands
What at first seemed like the perfect path
Has proven itself a turn off course
But these roads
Have shaped me into something much better than...
Safety could ever dream of being
It sustains, it sustains
I'll force a smile
To hide the real one that I can't explain
Worship me and make me your king it's
All the same, all the same
I'm beautifully disfigured in every single way
I lack the strength to lead you astray
and keep you from the fears that I chose not to face
My lack of direction has left me in total disarray
We've gotten so far, we've gotten so far away
I've danced with self destruction
In the form of a broken bottle
In the form of a burning carton
It all just turns to ash
You only know yourself at the bottom of it all
Bad decisions have shaped me as something much better than...
Safety could ever dream of being
It sustains, it sustains
I'll force a smile
To hide the real one that I can't explain
Worship me and make me your king it's
All the same, all the same
I'm beautifully disfigured in every single way
You think you've got the spark incinerate me
I've been through worse than this and I'm still standing
I wouldn't dare remove the knives that changed me
from who I used to be to who I've grown proud to be
I'm at peace with myself and all of my mistakes

Despite Everything

Your steady hands lead you to believe that you're not scared
When you've simply given up
All of your mistakes grew just like the waves
You let them sweep you away, you let them sweep you away
With the lights turned off a stranger recalls you by touch
Another set of hands to feel your tender skin
so aching for attention, addicted to prescription
These pretty shapes across your face enable you
To fill yourself with heart sinking regret
She screams at me I'm worth so much more than this
This is not what I was meant to be
My vision became shutter-eyed
Stuck in a single frame of time
I can't trust my body when I can't trust my mind
It's far too addicted
To an altered state of being numb every single day
It's time to get clean for your own sake
We'll make you whole again
I'm so sorry for disappearing when you needed a friend
Please try to understand I escaped this darkness in the past
In my state of weakness I was scared of going back
Well I'm finally here, I'm not going anywhere
Everything is fine we were never in danger at all
We just didn't hold our breath for the tide
The water's deeper than I ever knew
I can't exhale my lungs are full of you
