lyrics

There's blood on the sidewalk
Outside the apartment complex
That you call home
That I am forced to walk to
Alone at night
I know you say you don't like sleeping alone
Tucked away in that coffin
Studio apartment
Tears in the linen where you scratch in your fits
Cigarette burns in the carpet.
Once you come back, once you come back to us
I hope for your sake the whole world may be haunted
Manifest and fade, manifest and fade, manifest and fade lazily
Stalking the alleyways and graveyard shift taxis.
But for now we're no longer brushing shoulders
You act as the eye of the fly on the wall
Of the room where you first told me
My false sense of security
and irrational fears of everything
Were building friction in my head.
At least that's what you said
As you pressed up close in my cold bed
The subtle hints that I misread
I could even taste the poison in your quickening breath
As you crept in quick with a kiss to kill me.
Knock me death with the lips shade red.
I replaced your wallpaper
With an old box of photographs you hid in the attic
Because those old photographs weren't meant for anyone.
Once you come back, once you come back to us
I hope for your sake the whole world may be haunted
Manifest and fade, manifest and fade, manifest and fade lazily
Stalking the alleyways and graveyard shift taxis.
