Prophecies In Kodak

With those words that I said that I never meant to say

Why can't we put all these tears to bed?

Tonight's the night where everything will fall around you

This house enchanted, velvet carpet sprees

(Your certainty gets the best of me)

(But, it brings out the worst in me)

Your lonely hand did all to toss the key

(It's a sin to let your words caress me)

(So count your blessings, it's already done)

Isn't this the picture perfect moment?

Bottle up my tears in a snapshot motion

Every window is a different story

Shut it then it moves on it like never happened

(And you cut through my heart)

Can't feel the ink on my skin

(And you scratch out my eyes)

Can't fight the tar in my lungs

(This is the last knife you'll ever put into my back)

Can't taste the sugar from the salt on my bones

In a single picture frame, you and I explain

The safety involved in open doors

So record our memories with windshields kissing trees

And know that tonight was worth dying for

Thanks for second guessing, pin this rose on me

(My only friends in this world are strangers)

(They don't know me well enough to put my heart in danger)

Forever is a promise that you could not keep

(Thanks for spreading me a different story)

(A parliament puff covers all of my lies)

I'll burn the letters while you burn our bridges

Sink the ship after you lock me in

So do your best to point the trigger finger

At all my bullet holes and safety pins

(And you cut through my heart)

Can't feel the ink on my skin

(And you scratch out my eyes)

Can't fight the tar in my lungs

(This is the last knife you'll ever put into my back)

Can't taste the sugar from the salt on my bones

In a single picture frame, you and I explain

The safety involved in open doors

So record our memories with windshields kissing trees

And know that tonight was worth dying for

Shaking all night

I'm shaking all night

I hope you saw the light

I hope you saw the light, I

You spend years walking down these aisles

Empty pews never mean so much to you

And I'd like it if you took your time

And I'd like it if you took your chance now

To reach your hand out

I'll reach my hand out

They'll brush in time for you to realize

That empty words can bring all that the world can sing

So I hope that it's all there, waiting for me

Call me something, call me curious

Just so I know you're fine

Just so I know I spoke in time

(My dream came true with ice on all your roads)

(Shhhhh)

Everything that you wanted

You got it without even trying

So let's just play pretend

And you'll have to try to make this work

You know me better than to point the trigger finger

At all my bullet holes and safety pins

You know better than to point your finger at me
