Ruby Doomsday

I shouldn't have been here in the first place Now I'm stuck to your skin like duct tape I'll hold you together But you'll tear me off for something better There's a rope tying the you that changed To the you that lives in my brain I'm trapped in the centre All wrapped up like a birthday present All wrapped up like a birthday present I could ask for money, ask for heaven All the finest things I could have whatever Is it bad that I don't want that? I want you, I'm hanging by a thread I know I shouldn't place my bets But your hands are the only ones I want wrapped around my neck And maybe that's nothing But maybe there's something Close my eyes 'cause I'm losing sleep It's no surprise that I'm losing me You're the cross that I bear You're the crimson in my nightmares But I'd be on your doorstep Even if you're second guessing If you told me you were desperate I'd be all wrapped up like a present I want you, I'm hanging by a thread I know I shouldn't place my bets But your hands are the only ones I want wrapped around my neck And maybe that's nothing But maybe there's something If we're doomed it's probably for the best But my heart will still beat red So I'll kiss you if you let me And I'll suck out all your mess Maybe we're nothing But we could be something Say you want me now you're running It's no wonder I've been wondering If I'm holding onto nothing Does that mean I'm holding something? Say you want me now you're running It's no wonder I've been wondering Now I'm holding onto nothing Well at least I'm holding something You're the rot that grows inside my chest But I'd give you my best 'Cause I want you
