If I lose this battle then you get the bones
A trophy for your kill
Your smile looks familiar
Have I seen it somewhere
Frozen in the memory of a place where I felt whole
So why did you turn around
When we both know there's nothing left
Was it just to tempt me to
Make a decision that I'd regret
Did you forget I was left behind
By a vulture in her den
So I waited in your hourglass
Buried beneath the sand
She said baby come back to bed
You're not dead yet but I like to pretend
Cause I can find feelings in things with no meaning at all
It's your flesh but not your skin that turns me on
Lie back for your surgery
I like to cut fragile things
The crescendo of all our battles,
and these words that we never should have said
I stumbled at this tempo
You faltered far ahead
I've convinced myself that I might have you again
A stability that I was never meant
I stumbled at this tempo
You faltered far ahead
So why did you turn around
When we both know there's nothing left
Was it just to tempt me to
Make a decision that I'd regret
Did you forget I was left behind
By a vulture in her den
So I waited in your hourglass
Buried beneath the sand
Is there an exit out of my body
Show me out of my body
Is there a way out of my body
Let me out of my body
I'm trying to breathe but I'm drowning in the swell
Should've thrown you away like a wish in a well
We sang so softly through subtle moans
A song that's grown tired and cold
I'm trying to run, but these legs are hopelessly conflicted
seeing the light on, in your room
I can't, I can't, I just can't
(Is there a way out of my body?
Let me out of my body)
Remain calm
You know exactly what this is
and what you are
we stand before a murder scene
A murder you committed willingly
Before the final verdict, I'll let you express your defeat
Stand by the jury, in this courthouse full of thieves
A trophy for your kill
Your smile looks familiar
Have I seen it somewhere
Frozen in the memory of a place where I felt whole
So why did you turn around
When we both know there's nothing left
Was it just to tempt me to
Make a decision that I'd regret
Did you forget I was left behind
By a vulture in her den
So I waited in your hourglass
Buried beneath the sand

You're not dead yet but I like to pretend
Cause I can find feelings in things with no meaning at all
