My love, you love your time machine
Your power trips and diamond rings
The walls you built on teenage dreams
The well you dug for sinking things
Your words to kill are evergreen
So you must not feel anything at all
But how’d you get so bulletproof?
You trade your time for inside truths
Trade your time for any clue
Of what to do or not to do
Hate to say, it’s nothing new
Aside from those few girls you keep around
But how will it end? How long will you give me?
‘Til you twist the knife with a smile while you kill me
And you ask me to dance if there’s someone around
You don’t look the same when I look at you now
Well, honey pie, you’re haunting me
I fell for your faux fantasy
You poured the wine, there’s poison in it
Disregard my disposition
Truth is in the subtle things
Your eggshell floor is splintering now, mm
And it freaks me out, I’m old enough
To know you as a gateway drug
You’re everything I’ll never be
You love to look for enemies
I’d have to bet, that’s lonely
Could leave you with an empty house
But how will it end? How long will you give me?
‘Til you twist the knife with a smile while you kill me
And you ask me to dance if there’s someone around
You don’t look the same when I look at you now
And I used to pretend that it didn’t feel evil
Your light of a million suns burns through people
And bridges and cities ’til ash covers ground
A breath of your air is a death wish
And you’re forcing my hand, but I’m a drop in your ocean
I ruined your plans of some grand self-promotion
The second you figured that I figured you out
Now you look away when I look at you now
Oh, look at you now
Well, look at you
Look at you, mm, mm
