caldecott, pt. ii

There's something dangerous in the corner of the room

And I'm trying to pretend it's not there

I'm not sure what it is but it's definitely dangerous

I don't wanna get too close to it

In case it's something that could hurt me

But maybe it wants to love me

Maybe it needs something safe, like me

And when you took me to the place you hid

You erased the line between my ego and id (Oh, oh)

And though you left a hole in my chest

I still wish you the best

Even though it might be full of venom

Whether it wants to harm me or not

I'm still gonna be careful around it

After all, it's clearly dangerous

And I can't help but wonder if

Maybe we could be friends

Even though we're both dangerous

And at night I wander my hometown

And I hide in the fort as it crumbles down

And at night I wander my hometown

And I wait in the fort until you come around

And now I'm lying in bed at 3:00AM all alone

And I know you're awake too, because you never sleep

And recently? Neither do I

Because I'm waiting for you to open the door and lie down next to me

But your side of the bed is just gonna remain cold

While I think of ways to distract myself

From the way you used to LIE with your head on my chest

Looking me in the eye, and I believed you every time

Like a goddamn idiot

But even so I guess I still can't bring myself to hate you

Or, I don't know, maybe

Because we're the same, that we couldn't be friends

We're too dangerous for each other, and

It's always the ones that are most alike

That end up destroying each other like that

God damn

Why should I compete if I can't win?

You dragged me down to hell and made me promise not to sin

I shut off my emotions just to act like it's okay

Yeah I'm dying on the floor right now but you just look away

I gave you everything I had to give

And you just watched my body rot

You never let me live

I promised through the darker nights that I would always stay

When all was said and done I had to watch you walk away

(When all was said and done I had to watch you walk away)

So if you're just gonna leave me for dead

You better spit it out and say it with your chest

You know I tried to live a lie for you

So there's nothing left that I could give or do

And at night I wander my hometown

And I hide in the fort as it crumbles down

And at night I wander my hometown

And I wait in the fort until you come around

If you don't want something, don't take it

If you don't want the answers to questions that are hard

Don't ask them

Don't preach change and do nothing to obtain it

Nothing's more frustrating than a gun with no bang

It's so obvious

Don't take what you don't want from us

Just talk me out

You're not gonna start using your hands now

Are you?

It's so obvious

Don't take what you don't want from us

Just talk me out

You're not gonna start using your hands now

Are you?

(I know there's nothing left for you)

You're not gonna start using your hands now

Are you?

And I still loved you

'Til the very last second

Can you say the same?
