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
