lyrics

i could live without
trying to sleep, but being unable to
i really would love to
lay on the moon
staring at the stars
i would go by myself
dig myself a grave
i want to bury
my beacon of existence

my entire life
is it not there anymore?
i don't really know
what happens after we die
my concept of nothing;
complete blackness and no sound
but that is something
i don't really know death
and i don't really know nothing

i am riveting
i am a poem with a pulse
i am the bottom of a swimming pool
i am loading
i'm sorry, too
i have severe faults
i am the world's greatest hopeless romantic
i don't speak
i would take him back in a heartbeat
i am a gigantic bomb
i wear my guts on my sleeve
it's just tissue

heartbreak is the worst kind of ghost
i think about that all the time
a clear vision of my future
ripped out from under me
i can still hear his voice
it's melancholic, but in a beautiful way
i'm going to search for him in everyone
hoping he'll call me
i will love him until the day i die
and it haunts me
