lyrics

I bought you flowers
I held your doors and wore my best
But I count the hours
Till I can see your skin undressed
Oh you're the best

I can't escape this
Its in the chemicals in my head
You cannot tame me
The least you can do is not pretend
Its not like this

The wheel feels cold on a Saturday night drive with my lady
She counts the cats eyes while the radio's playing Serendipity
And I know that there's something she's still wishing that I said
To fulfil the fairytale that is crumbling in her head

Deep in my gaze
Tell me can you see the animal
That I keep caged
My lust it bubbles ravenously
You're all I need

You scream don’t stop please
All I can hear is the pounding beat
I clutch you to me
And watch how sweetly you do slip

I've lost my grip on everything
I am sick
I'm a monster
But I am me

The wheels burning up on a Saturday night drive with my lady
Her lifeless eyes reflect the night as I'm pushing past one-seventy
They told me that they'd find a way to kill this devil in my head
But I aint talking no more and I aint taking no more meds

The wheels crushed. Blood. As the Sunday morning dawn light is breaking
I cross the cats eyes as I carry her crumpled frame into serenity
And I know that this story could have had a happy end
But fulfilling fairytales never really was my thing
