lyrics
Well, I traveled for miles just to get to this awful place, the dark, silver sea where I can finally see my face. Because in the dark it will become such a perfect world for midnight confessions from a foolish party girl. Vanishing for months on end, oh well, that’s no way to treat a friend. So, engrave my yellow crown to say that I’m the king of walking away, away, away. Well, I crossed a bridge and I decided to burn it then. You were like a dead twin I lost never to find again. But when I return, I’ll surely be in declining heath so save all your pity for a girl who destroyed herself. And let’s do the greatest dance around, where I say, “hello” and turn around to the slow dirge that I always find playing over and over in my mind, in my mind, my mind. Well, now let’s move in for the kill, that I’ll swallow like a bitter pill which will time release a brutal truth about the indiscreet mistakes of youth. And in my fever state of honesty, I’ll call the janitor of lunacy to take this crazy mess I’ve made and throw it in a shallow grave. And when I die, won’t you be sure that you bury me in a glass coffin by the banks of the silver sea? Then at the funeral you can hear the procession wail a terrible eulogy that’s a cautionary tale. A mind consumed by chasing dragons and a youth of falling off the wagon, they conceal the truth laid at my feet, the only thing I am is incomplete, incomplete, incomplete, incomplete, incomplete, incomplete.
