lyrics
How'd it feel to get home speeding?
What a time to be here breathing,
Even though we're lost and needy kings
It's hopeless and broken
Holding onto someone simple
'Cause it's easy, and you settled
But we all see right through the little cracks
It's broken and heartless
A flash of light in my life,
For just a moment, I won't hold my breath
How'd it feel to cough your lungs out?
Blood around the teeth in your mouth
Never thought that's what I'd want but now
I'm hopeless and smoking
Sounded like a stranger that night
Now I know it was the last time
I would ever sleep expecting peace
'Cause you're gone
I'm haunted
It's just how you wanted
A flash of light in my life
For just a moment, I won't hold my breath
You burst right out of my sight
a plastic shell of you, all I've got left
What a time to be here breathing,
Even though we're lost and needy kings
It's hopeless and broken
Holding onto someone simple
'Cause it's easy, and you settled
But we all see right through the little cracks
It's broken and heartless
A flash of light in my life,
For just a moment, I won't hold my breath
How'd it feel to cough your lungs out?
Blood around the teeth in your mouth
Never thought that's what I'd want but now
I'm hopeless and smoking
Sounded like a stranger that night
Now I know it was the last time
I would ever sleep expecting peace
'Cause you're gone
I'm haunted
It's just how you wanted
A flash of light in my life
For just a moment, I won't hold my breath
You burst right out of my sight
a plastic shell of you, all I've got left
