"Pushing Daisies" lyrics

"Pushing Daisies"

I wind my mechanical heart in the mirror
I fraction my face until I don't look real
Then I sit with my crooked reflection 'til you come to find me
Then I kneel beside you, pulling your teeth
You chase the sting with your tongue to your cheek
You get your hands in my head, rearrange all my dreams

And now you don't look the same
With the moonlight eclipsing your face
Did you see too much?
How will I fall asleep tonight?
There's some things you just can't medicate
It's never enough
And I don't think you understand
All the things that you could have had
You're reckless in love
And I'm not your enemy but I'm not someone you can trust

He boarded a train heading south in the fall
You keep his photograph taped to the wall
I study the lines on his face and I trace them on you
Trapped in a static electrical loop
Chasing a cellular void in your room
The rain keeping time with your eyes, dripping gunpowder blue

They got my chemistry wrong, I hide the pills under my tongue

But you're never satisfied
You want something that's larger than life
And I give that to you
But it doesn't mean anything
If my love is a victimless crime
You'd rather be bruised
I think you're crazy, my love
We'll both be pushing daisies by the time morning comes

Daisies to bloom
There before the grace of God
