Do you breath easy? Breathe freely?
'Cause my breaths are shorter and my nights are longer
Feeling undone in this battle of one but it feels like two,
Feels like you tapping on my shoulder, poking my chest
Are you thinking about me when you're nestled in my head?
Are you dreaming about me or just wishing I was dead?
I'm set on love but maybe you were just something it reminded me of...
Time heals all wounds, is that true for me and you?
'Cause mine are festering the longer you pester me 
And the best of me won't rest 'til it sees you're depressed
'Cause you're not here next to me
Maybe you and I were meant to be
You don't decide for we, you don't pull the rug out from under me
Come on now, just pay the fee
If freedom isn't free then why the fuck would love be?

You said just breathe...
But I don't listen.  Because you're not the boss of me
Just look at my cheeks and how blue they can be
I just can't win, you're poking holes in me
My riddled skin is too baffled to breathe
I didn't come to battle but you're do damn combative that I
I agree I should leave

He said I just don't... he said I just don't know
Caught him staring out the window, caught him constantly checking his phone

I'm self aware but too stubborn to care
Buried my senses beneath a bottle and a lot of second guesses
Lessons are plentiful but I'm carving a pedestal
And setting a goal for me to never let it go
What do you know?
You don't hear the screams echoing in my head
You don't smell the sweat drenching the sheets on my bed
I'm dedicated to daydreaming 'bout the way you'd look in a cage that I've made for you to live in
Don't spread your wings around me 'cause it's easier to clip 'em
Living like a self-taught villain
Tightening his grip on a feeling like it's the only religion
I'm certain this bubble is big enough for you to fit in
The perch I built is strong enough for you to sit in
So relax, I'll serve you water from the tap
If you're feeling weak, take a nap
'Cause that's what happens when you're back with a heart that hums
And that's what happens when you're trapped in my misfortune

My little birdie why don't you sing?  You've been acting so sullen since I clipped your wings...  What if I sang you a lullaby to remind you of the sky
My little birdie you used to sing so haunting now the silence is deafening, wanna fly?  I guess I liked you better when you could fly

My little birdie why don't you sing?  You've been acting so sullen since I, since I took away your flying.

"...I need a little bit of time before I leave..."

We got a dead man walking, we don't know all the things that he's seen
He musta seen a lot 'cuz he walks so slow and solemnly
You see his eyes all sunken?  A shadow of what they used to be
Atrophied knees are bucklin', he can't even stand on his God given feet

Oh what a way to leave, spending your last moments wondering
If things could have been, huh?  Better than they ended

If you could never fall in love with me I hope you'd tell me about it
Your <3 looks so free and mine so sore
If you could never fall in love with me I guess that we'll drift apart and
You'll keep on living and I'll stay a corpse

We got a dead guy talkin', about all the trauma he's seen
He's certainly seen too much 'cuz, he can't get it out without faltering
You see those eyes all sunken *sunken* like the deepest wreck in the sea
He's losing his grips, he's white knuckling, he can't keep ahold of what makes him a human being

What does it mean?  To stare down the barrel as you're wondering
Is this how it ends?  Uhuh... cuz I'm trigger happy

"...Now I wander the streets and in the middle of the night you can still hear me screaming..."

If you could never fall in love with me I hope you'd tell me about it
Your <3 looks so free and mine so bored
If you could never fall in love with me I guess that we'll drift apart and
You'll keep on living of course
If you could never fall in love with a guy like me tell me about it
My <3 skipped a beat but I have never been dead wrong before
If you could never fall in love with me I guess that we'll drift apart and
You'll keep on living of course
And I will defy the chalk lines drawn around me

"...I step to the rhythm that I feel, reanimated limns won't heel to me
I need a little bit of time before I leave..."

We got a dead man walking, we don't know all the things that he's seen
He musta seen a lot 'cuz he walks so slow and solemnly

Please Maria, you promised me you left those wicked ways
You promised me you changed
But very well, I see you’ve finally given in
To the urges and the temptations you are
The best at stealing

And it doesn’t make sense to me my baby…

Please, Maria, listen to what I plead
Seedy as you may be whether or not you know what I mean
What you do to me is a sight for eyesores that I can’t unsee
I live my life in a different context than what you breathe
Free me, free me from that sickly grip
You tricky, slippery, bitter, battered sinking ship
Drugging and dragging me into the frigid blisslessness
I’ll never forgive me for letting you in
To take it away: my tranquility, sanity, whatever it be
Picking apart all of the pieces that are wrong with we
Please Maria, fuck off kindly
‘Cause I’ll never bleed for a thief
But by all means, you take what you need

You take way more than you’d ever need
You break all the <3’s just to see
And it doesn’t make sense to me my baby

You take way more than you’d ever need
You break all the <3’s just to see
And it just doesn’t make sense to me my baby

Miss Maria, will your thirst ever be satisfied?
When will your luck run dry?
You cast your spell on unsuspecting gentlemen
You’re ravishing and you know you are

The moon fills the sky with it's chilling light
As the last ship burns
But the bats and the pyres they'll never hold ya Ladrona

‘Cuz you take way more than you ever need
You break all the <3’s just to see them bleeding
And it doesn’t make sense to me my baby

You take way more than you’d ever need
You break all the <3’s just to see
Now get to walkin’
‘Cuz I could never love a thief
