Sick/Happy

I tried to drown in your flame
somehow i let the fire escape
and i can only blame myself
a rubber soul is hard to sell
you pull me in and push me out
you tie me up and tie me down
you give me space, i’m locked in chains
i want your fire, i need your faith
you always knew just what to say
never misspoke a single word
i pleaded guilty once again
so hand me down
my sentence now
i am condemned
the victim and the criminal
i’m on knees in silent prayer
for one last touch
my twisted valentine
when every second lasts a thousand years
and every shot glass holds a million tears
and every race ends in a brand new start
there’s no soul left but you can take some heart
