lyrics

i can't seem to shut up, i'm always talking
but it's only ever the same old shit
i'm a recond, i'm a black vein with no place for the needle to sit
in the last life i was a believer,
now i work where the city grows thin
where the sad and the lonely are worn right up next to your skin

do you know the secrets i keep while you're sleeping
or are you dying for just one more lie
i'll bandage your fresh wounds wash stains from your clothing
but i can't dry the tears from your eyes

i never thought that i'd catch you praying, but i guess we've been staying up late
stubbing out cigarettes on the edge of your mother's good plates
“this town is so wide” you said and i know you mean it,
but narrow still on the inside
despite all the corners there's still hardly no places hide

do you know the secrets i keep while you're sleeping
or are you dying for just one more lie
i'll bandage your fresh wounds wash stains from your clothing
but i can't dry the tears from your eyes
