[Verse]
She does her best work, when she’s in the dark
She makes my head spin, so hard to make it stop
And with the blue eyes, so hard to turn her down
White flowered sundress, one hundred meters I drown

[Chorus]
And I can’t start
Until I fall
Got these cold dark halls
And ticking clocks
Got my head and heart dueling
It’s a draw
One hundred meters I drown
One hundred meters I drown

[Verse]
Chasing I love you, and I can’t get enough
Warmth of your body, the feeling in your touch
Can you come over, all I want is to talk
Don’t want you right now, I don’t want you at all

[Chorus]
And I can’t start
Until I fall
Got these cold dark halls
And cocaine hearts
Share the same breath out
Water in the draw
One hundred meters I drown
One hundred meters I drown

[Bridge]
I close my eyes before the crash
She leaves no choice to circumstance
I see the rain it’s pouring, water running filling up the bath
She lights a fire burning ember but the ember turns to ash

[Chorus]
And I can’t start
Until I fall
Got these cold dark halls
And closing walls
Share the same breath out
Water in the draw
One hundred meters I drown
One hundred meters I drown

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
These pictures talking
I can’t scream I can’t find a way out
Something inside me has me reeling
And running my mouth

I feel it so deep
I can barely keep holding it down
This infestation's got me running
All over the town

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can feel you there
You know I cannot bleed anymore
One of my greatest fears
Give up the chances of letting you go

I see your

[Chorus]
Heart beat when it’s cold
And I know you’re coming through
Something as bold as
The fact of loving you
I’m told it’s so hard
What can I really do?

Because I’m still loving you

[Verse 2]
It’s not necessary to leave me now
Somethings are certain this time around
Tell me your stories I'll sit right down

Backs on a wall and you're my crutch
She leans back starts to roll a Dutch
Gets high and leaves him in the night

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can feel you there
You know I cannot bleed anymore
One of my greatest fears
Give up the chances of letting you go

I see your

[Chorus]
Heart beat when it’s cold
And I know you’re coming through
Something as bold as
The fact of loving you
I’m told it’s so hard
What can I really do?

Because I’m still loving you

My heart is torn and
It’s all because of you
You’ve won the war and
There’s nothing I can do
I know it’s so hard
But what is tried and true
And though I’m still loving you

[Outro]
But she can tell he’s there
Sips at her tea then wipes off her tears
He looks into her stare
He slips back into wanting her again

Lyrics: 
My love's a cigarette death
And I don’t even know where she runs to
Half the time in my head
But lord I’d love to figure it out

Slowly she comes back to me
My thoughts of a wedding ring
My love has grown so cold as ice
My breath is white
Can you please take it away from me

Slowly she comes back to me
She says she wants everything
My heart, my head can’t explain
But in a blackout that’s all she says

My brains a silicon chip
My body is a suit to slip in to
But it seems I don’t fit
But I can hear her calling my name

The silence it thrives at night
Who knows how, when, or why?
Blackened palms up to the sky
When thoughts they come in then bleed out of my mind

And I try so hard to forget 
Aim for my head cause that’s where the trouble is
She snaps my neck back into place
With her blue fingertips
What a wasteful mistake 

Oh my god

Slowly she comes back to me
She says she wants everything
My heart my head can’t explain
But when I’m blacked out I see her face 

And I can smell her skin
I know that
That this cage I’m in
I’m broken
She sang
She sang

Slowly she comes back to me
She says she wants everything
My heart my head can’t explain
But in a black out that’s all she says

LYRICS:

I recite the lies 
To keep them in my head
She’s standing next to me
Wishing I was dead

But she can’t understand 
What she meant

The thoughts you have to choose
The synchromatic blues
The people you adore in your terrible 22s 
The ones she calls her friends

And she says

I’m interested in the thought of you
Do what you have to do
To make amends

Calling me back home in the afternoon 
What’s trust to you?
I can’t comprehend

To pull me closer and drag me under
With one last breath
With all the power that you have over 
My darling what did you expect

Is it the drugs kicking in are you there my love?
I can hear you round the corner 
But I cannot lose you no more 
The uncertainty when it’s hard to breathe 
And I can’t stay long
And she’s speaking to the words unsaid 
The loneliness 
When it makes it harder to stand
Trust me the air that I breathe ain’t enough

And I have second thoughts 
And though they seem adverse
She’s screaming when it’s better 
Cause when it’s betters when it’s worse

Like when speaking out of turn
In false terms

And so the night it haunts 
The memories lay there lost
And so I start to wonder 
But I’m wondering at a cost

Hoping something stays forgot 
As in what?

I pull her closer and drag her under the weight on top
With all the power I now have over 
My darling I will never stop

How are the drugs kicking in can you my take my love?
I can hear you round the corner 
But I cannot lose you no more 
The uncertainty when it’s hard to breathe 
And I can’t stay long
And she’s speaking to the words unsaid 
The loneliness 
When it makes it harder to stand
Trust me the air that I breathe ain’t enough

I know it’s the end but is this just the feeling of longing I get when I’m feeling the same
I’m stuck in my ways but inside there is something that I want to feel when I finally change

I know there’s nothing left to say

Are the drugs kicking in are you there my love?
(Are you there my love?) 
I can hear you round the corner 
But I cannot lose you no more 
The uncertainty when it’s hard to breathe 
(Are you there my love?)
And I can’t stay long
And she’s speaking to the words unsaid 
The loneliness 
When it makes it harder to stand
Trust me the air that I breathe ain’t enough
The air that I breathe ain’t enough
