I'd rather beg your forgiveness
than solicit permission
I'd rather know that it broke
your heart than doubt that it will
Every time we divide
we put zeros under the line
and we publish it as our proof
that nothingness is divine
I can't find a way to grind
your heart to a halt
It was probably just the wind
I don’t ruin you like I did
I would rather be jealous
man than an off duty cop
I tried to be a babe in arms
not a bull in a china shop
A sheep in wolf's clothes
I'm a hangman without a rope
Who am I trying to kid
I don't ruin you like I did
When you live your life
being scared to death
then you might as well be wounded
If you spend your nights
being short of breath
then I'll keep these shadows moving
If only you could see me now
If only you could see me
I'll take what I can get
even if it's restraining
Orders
Hold your fire
What do you take me for
What do you take me for
Did you think I could garner
attention with tact
What do you take me for
What am I trying to prove
What have I done to you
Left at the altar and asked for a bed
what did I expect you to do
Give me an audience
Black loveless eyes
I have hundreds of costumes
but not one disguise
Places everyone
Fangs out
I'd rather bed your forgiveness
than solicit permission
I'd rather know that it broke your heart
than doubt that it will
I would rather be jealous
man than an off duty cop
I tried to be a babe in arms
not a bull in a china shop
I will see you in the dark
I will see you in the dark
A castrated stranger with candy hearts
