If You Took My Advice, You'd Be Dead Lyrics

you guard your laughter

just like the president and

your weeks are numbered

just like an element and

it's not so much what you say

it's mostly how your saying it

you make me melt like kerosene on candle wax

in flames and on your porch

she's knocking on your door

and she won't leave until your ash is on the floor



and all your pictures

couldn't keep me warm

if I burned them

I'm bleeding bloody coughs

from the fire in my lungs

I left you in my memories

so if the train comes

lay down on the tracks

and forget me

and how we used to kiss

I can't stand the person that you've grown to be



you guard your laughter

just like the president and

your weeks are numbered

just like an element and

it's not so much what you say

it's mostly how your saying it

you make me melt like kerosene on candle wax

in flames and on your porch

she's knocking on your door

and she won't leave until your ash is on the floor



and all your pictures

couldn't keep me warm

if I burned them

I'm bleeding bloody coughs

from the fire in my lungs

I left you in my memories

so if the train comes

lay down on the tracks

and forget me

and how we used to kiss

I can't stand the person that you've grown to be



(so this is me, testing you. staring through the colors of the cornea. concentrating until no color remains. your life, your mind becomes black and white. show me your inbalance. show me your true self. all thought is a chemical reaction. it's all in your head. it's all in your head)



(the bathroom mirror and lipstick, the syllables run down without meaning, and you have the guts to call yourself intellectual)



after this you will be in more pain than you could ever imagine

just the two of us left bleeding sadly after

and to think you said we had nothing in common
