lyrics

this is blackmail, this is tragedy, this is empty but it's happening

and you don't get away so easily

like a house fire doused in kerosene, this is messy but it's happening

and you don't get away so easily

this wasn't what you had in mind when you said we'd be alone

just you and i and all the ghosts we've kept since we were born

and no one's talking to you, they just pass through on their way

we're well beyond the pleasantries, the courting phase and all

this is blackmail...

the endless whine of modern age without the dry wit

vulnerable, not impossible, look who you're messing with

there's no use in running when each sting feels the same

you're staring off to outer space, you're faking it and it shows

keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer
