lyrics

I think I know what I've been waiting for
Something that I can protest
Formal disguise used for violence
When we lie like all the rest

This kind of mask fits you so well
Pretty lifelike I can't tell
Brittle words replace your skin
And your lips like paraffin

[Chorus]
My silver tongue will be your pen
For this tale's quite intricate
Who will I pretend to be?
We're all born with parts to play
And I hate to say, and I hate to say
I think you're just my stopgap honey

Tonight we burn
What's left of all of your intentions
The lessons we learned will never bother us again
What you love most, a story worth pretending
But we're never learning from this charade we call romance
Show me all of your unpunished deeds
The consequences might just set you free
It's a fucking distant memory
What she said to me

[Chorus]

My lips are yearning for something more than you're used to giving
The heats too strong her waxy lips I see them dripping
I see you and we're falling apart
I can't hold together all the pieces of my broken heart
I see you and we're falling apart
Tear it out so softly, tear it out so softly

[Chorus]

It's the beginning not the end
And what she said I can't forget
Imprinted on my mind

And this pain
Never seems so far away
Never seems to leave me alone
And this pain,
Started when you walked away
Started when you leave me all alone
