Never Leave

The garden is on fire, I left my tongue on the ground The flesh all around me is cold to the touch I don’t care, it feels warm inside And I have a loaded gun and I’m out to sever ties This place is burning down, I think I forgot something Chemicals cleaning the flesh around my hands I never smoked my last cigar You know I need you here to feed my nagging addictions So I crawl in my empty space and wait for you I should have figured out by now you won’t come back But I’m underground and in denial So as long as I’m alive I’ll never leave I walk along the ground, turn the corner to see you Stand there in disbelief as you look away You were my reason for living With my jaw clenched I pray for you to find your way back here So I wander in and out of my suffering An empty vile that once contained life for me Is now drained and I’m in search of some more Please pull over and tell me how to get home Wash down the pills with more poison Walk down to the end of the street with me My paranoia has grown and I’m afraid to be out at night alone Or is that just a lie I use to get you to come with me I hide in the shadows, I want to be beautiful I want to be just like you, anti-social I didn’t want to say goodbye But I turned and put one foot in front of the other/it probably won't make any sense to you but i'm not gonna say what it's about. i like people to make it mean something to them.
