Lyrics

Days Before You Came

Days before you came Freezing cold and empty Towns that change their name And a horn of plenty Days before you came Counting breaths inside me Even crack cocaine Couldn't start to hide me Won't you join me now Baby's looking torn and frayed Join the masquerade Join the masquerade Won't you join me now Baby's looking to get laid Join the masquerade Join the masquerade Days before you came It always seemed enticing To be naked and profane There is no denying Days before you came Thunderbolts and lightning Each day a brand new vein Each tourniquet colliding Didn't what you anyway Didn't what you anyway Didn't what you anyway Didn't what you anyway Won't you join me now Baby's looking torn and frayed Join the masquerade Join the masquerade Won't you join me now Baby's looking to get laid Join the masquerade Join the masquerade Days before you came Days before you came Days before you came Days before you Days before you came Days before you came Days before you came Days before you Didn't want you anyway Didn't want you anyway Didn't want you anyway Didn't want you anyway
