This Haunted Life

from Midwest Nothing by Like Bats

lyrics

There’s just some things that need to be said over six strings because it gets so dark in here sometimes. I lose myself.

Then you turn on the light. I found my foot inside my mouth, my heart on the floor, and my head up in the clouds.

Sleeping alone. Nights that will never know you. Dreaming in prose. Lines that I don’t owe you. Three little words you’re never gonna hear again.

Feels like I’m always just waiting for things to come together. Waiting to fall apart. Waiting for someone to take the pain away. Someone to break my heart.

Soak in daylight through half-open eyes. The banality calms. If you would lie to me, I’d love you for all time. But you just ain’t that fucking sweet.

So I glide through the air like smoke without a sound and I’ll kiss your hair the next time you’re in town. The bite of the smell will make you wish you never quit but you traded my taste for his.
