"Burning Down The Nicotine Armoire" lyrics

"Burning Down The Nicotine Armoire"

And they would follow you home
Until we wind up dead, checking your pulse
She'd wait across the street under our tree
Outside the front door
In autumn's blind embrace
But you wouldn't let her anyway, and we run

(And we framed these moments)
Today, your dream is dead
('Til one remaining cold, calculated thought)
And when you wake, it won't be there
(And we framed these moments)
Today, your dream is dead
('Til one remaining cold, calculated thought)
And sew that smile up with threads
(And we framed these moments)
Embrace this hope and let it flow
('Til one remaining cold, calculated thought)
You fool

Too shy to know your worth
Hurt from insensitive behavior
You're scared of what this really is
And where this might lead us next
And don't let me go, well, I feel it
And don't let me go

Prescribe the drug, prescribe the drug
(That's how I feel about love)
Try to sleep, try to sleep, here I go
(That it's not worth it)
Prescribe the drug, prescribe the drug
(That's how I feel about love)
Try to sleep, breathe, try to sleep, you're not dead

And in failure dreams fall
Pushing nightmares over pavement
Walking the streets, a living victim
Writing death threats in the wet cement
You'll say that I will lie and end it with this life
You won't regret my love

Prescribe the drug, prescribe the drug
(That's how I feel about love)
Try to sleep, try to sleep, here I go
(That it's not worth it)
Prescribe the drug, prescribe the drug
(That's how I feel about love)
Try to sleep, breathe, try to sleep, you're not dead

My goal was to make you happy at your best
Oh, you'd noticed all of this meaningless; I destroy you
Even through the only things that I have left for your
Condescending eyes looking at each other's
White lies, my heartache is useless
So quickly, we'll address the shadows running from light
It'll take this breath, denying what is left of us
(Crying, crying under pressure, crying, pressure, crying)
Embrace this ghost
(Crying under pressure, pressure, pressure)
And if you could just wake up tonight (Tonight, tonight)
I'd be with you under the sky (I'd be with you under this sky)
(Drink up, drink your blood, drink your blood) With you tonight
