lyrics

My words are a knife
I'll cut you in places you've never been kissed
I'll kiss you in places you thought don't exist
A mind is a terrible place to feel
Alone with your jar of pills to be taken
If life gets too hard
To keep you from waking
Yea "truth" is a word
And words are just lies we've agreed upon

Let's wait 'til the moonlight's a little less serious
To put on our blue shoes and dance the reds babe
The music will play
I'll hold you in my arms and sway

Correct me if I'm wrong
And often I may be
The words we sing aren't true
By virtue of their poetry
Lies don't become true 'cause they're pretty

My thoughts are a cage that keep us divided
A gap we can't bridge though futile we're trying
When phantom limbs itch we'll empty the bottle in hopes to find
A way to distract from wounds we left open
And words we'd retract to heal hearts we've broken
Yea "love" is a word we lost in translation when we were small

Let's wait 'til the moonlight's a little less serious
To put on our blue shoes and dance the reds babe
The music will play
I'll hold you in my arms and sway
