lyrics

There was no sky tonight, no borders for heaven or hell
They said a gorgeous girl was staring, but I could barely tell
So let’s get more drinks and hope they let us in
Our bodies will be old computer screens, vacant and never used again

But I am not fooling anyone
No, I am not fooling anyone
With this slow-motion getaway
But I have run out of reasons to stay

I am staring at the ground, I speak, but nothing comes out
I scream, but there is no sound
Every night is a plane crash, every battle with God
I have lost
No, I was born with this pain, and it has not gone away
No matter how much I’ve prayed
And I have tried to make do, and to hide from the truth
But it’s just no use

I was blessed with a hole in my belly where nothing will fit
Girls with too much lipstick, Jack Daniels, and cigarettes
And I thought if I could just fall in love once, maybe it would stick
But I quit, I quit, I quit, I quit, I quit
