I'm a tightrope walker
I can't find my circus
And I'm damaged beyond repair
You're just a coffin
Of a girl I knew
And I'm buried in you


Sometimes I dream I'm an exterminating angel
A travelling executioner from heaven
Sent to give you the prettiest death I know
Call the grave and make our reservations


Why is my wound a front door to you?
Am I my own shadow?


If you can hear this don't assume that I'm talking to you
Yesterday everything I thought, I believed in died

I don't need you, I'll say it to myself
It doesn't mean I won't need somebody
Anyone with half a soul will hear this and they'll never leave me

This time I won't hesitate to kill to protect what I believe in

And I can get by now, I'm not really dead
But I really needed someone to save me
Leaving me alone to die
Is worse than having any guts to kill me

And I'll love you if you let me

My pain's not ashamed to repeat itself

It's not like I made myself a list,
Of new and different ways to murder your heart.
I'm just painting that's still wet,
If you touch me, I'll be smeared
You'll be stained,
Stained for the rest of your life

So turn around, walk away,
Before you confuse the way we abuse each other.
If you're not afraid of getting hurt,
Then I'm not afraid of how much I hurt you.

I'm well aware I'm a danger to myself,
Are you aware I'm a danger to others?
There's a crack in my soul,
You thought it was a smile.
