lyrics

Because your eyes don't hold stars anymore
And I'll spend my life bleeding out on the floor.
Well, I wish I had the time.
Oh I wish you had the time.
An open wound doesn't cure the pain.
But I hardly think I'm the one to blame.
So just for tonight,
Let's paint these walls in red.

Well I guess I could catch something.
But no one's in the morgue.
I'd go talk to the preacher but
He's not in the church.
So I'll hang out with these corpses
Blow the doors off this hearse.
No one will see this coming.
Embalm my heart and watch me burn.

The drugs aren't enough but this makes me okay
To live and die in another day.
So kiss me one last time and
Close my casket door.
The walking dead don't care much for shame
So I'll decompose and be on my way
There's no need for vanity
When there's no one to see.

Well I guess I could catch something.
But no one's in the morgue.
I'd go talk to the preacher but
He's not in the church.
So I'll hang out with these corpses
Blow the doors off this hearse.
No one will see this coming.
Embalm my heart and watch me burn.

I'm trying
I'm trying
I'm trying
I'm trying
I'm dying
I'm dying
I'm dying
I'm dying

Well I guess I could catch something.
But no one's in the morgue.
I'd go talk to the preacher but
He's not in the church.
So I'll hang out with these corpses
Blow the doors off this hearse.
No one will see this coming.
Embalm my heart and watch me burn.

Well I guess I could catch something.
But no one's in the morgue.
I'd go talk to the preacher but
He's not in the church.
So I'll hang out with these corpses
Blow the doors off this hearse.
No one will see this coming.
Embalm my heart and watch me burn.
