It’s raining bullets out my window
A sea of shells are on the ground
It may be fatal when the wind blows
But you and I are safe in sound

Don’t let go and slip down into the deep
I’ll hold you up but it’s harder and harder to see
Down here, where the light fades
The sound of our loving is swallowed inside, there’s nowhere to hide

Who is there for love to send?
Never live for pain, you said
So why are we trapped in the slipstream of me?
We both can’t tread water

There’s more to this than can ever be the truth
Steel blue on my lips and the taste, the taste of you
Like ribbons round my neck, the tie tightens, the dark lightens
But I won’t leave, I won’t let go, you’re all I’ve ever known

Who is there for love to send?
Never live for pain, you said
So why are we trapped in the slipstream of me?
We both can’t tread water

You’re drowning in me
And you’re pulling me, pulling me down
The water is rising
Rising up in me
And I can’t look away
And I can’t breathe
It’s all disappearing, it’s all slowly sinking
And I just need to leave

Find myself picking up the pieces of me that you discarded
So, this is what they talk about when they say, ‘broken hearted’
Thought I was a together kind of person, the type who had a handle
As fate would have it I’m exploding like a roman candle.

And it’s pretty in the sky
Such a beautiful way to die
But I want my sparkle back
Why does it always fade to black?

I refuse to live this life that they chose for me
Lost count of hail marys gripping on their rosaries
I take it personal if this is how it’s supposed to be

See when I asked you the questions all you fed me back was lies
Now either you can recall or it’s true, you don’t even try
