lyrics

It was a tragic affair for the girl with black hair
An angel with jet-black intentions to bear
Her cries were like thunder claps and desperate gasps
She clung onto life like a syringe to clasp
I was the frog turned prince from a kiss on the lips
She was my broken bride frantically trying to get a grip
On this thing called life, it’s a reindeer game
When everything that comes out of your mouth sounds the same
I may be paranoid but you’re the one to blame
With a needle in your arm digging for a working vein
It seems like I’ve come to terms with my mistakes
The best thing I ever did for me was walk away
You were a hard habit to break, I won’t lie
But our love affair was just another opiate high
You would’ve sold me for a fix in the blink of an eye
But I’ve never been the type to let sleeping dogs lie

I just might close my eyes (x4)

Our chemical romance was tinged with opioid intentions
There’s a part of you that can’t love you failed mention
Our darkness intertwined and had a synergistic effect
But you never wanted love, you only hoped for death
I was comfortably numb; you played comfortably dumb
We got so high we could’ve been ignited by the sun
We got caught up in our lustful quest for angel dust
But the tension caused the tripwire we walked on to rust
I may be the liar but you were who lit the pyre
Your overdose catalyzed the events that transpired
You became an alcohol-soaked, Opana-doped ghost
A parasitic life form using me as a host
Became a shell of myself, trapped in my own kind of hell
Like Lucifer, there was no grace when I fell
But you were always looking for some sort of validation
And when you didn’t get that you still had your medication
You were a succubus with the taste of ether on your lips
And one arm attached to your grandfathers morphine drip
I left when I got the chance, how could you blame me?
At the end of the day we both knew you had it coming

I just might close my eyes (x4)
