lyrics

he took away my breath
made time stand still with hearts above my head
and then he took it all away
i ate all of his words
brought back up so they're my own
crawled out from beneath him
rubbed the bruises off my back

alone in the lonely
my heart black as soot
i'll rise from the ashes
and dance on my grave
sleep in your friendly shade
pull me in so safe and sound
let me rest catch my breath

he killed me oh so quickly
i'm killing us so gently now
face down in the water
until we no longer move
when it all comes back to him
like underwear and coffee cups
here in the familiar i die daily

alone in the lonely
my heart black as soot
i'll rise from the ashes
and dance on our grave
sleep in your friendly shade
pull me in so safe and sound
let me rest catch my breath

don't wanna be your fall back girl
no call back girl won't show you a good time
so i write myself a new heart
replace my sad with magic
and make him disappear
if it gets too dark won't ya please turn on a light

alone in the lonely
my heart black as soot
i'll rise from the ashes
and dance on our grave
sleep in your friendly shade
pull me in so safe and sound
let me rest catch my breath

and i'd burn my eyes out
and i'd peel my skin off
and unfeel oh unfeel it all
if i could just be brand new

he took away my breath
made time stand still with hearts above my head
and then he took it all away
