Pins and Needles

Once a night, the bedroom light

Leads out from inside my window

Eyes white, I keep out of sight

This city's just not pretty like it used to be

It's always a nightmare, it's never a dream

The promise we make to kill the days between

They live in the heartbeat and sleep till the light is gone

It's been so long

Feels like pins and needles in my heart

So long

I can feel it tearing me apart

To the bed, the left unsaid

Crawl in from outside my window

Hands red and cold as the dead

A pity they're not pretty like they used to be

It's always a nightmare, it's never a dream

The promise we make to kill the days between

They live in the heartbeat and sleep till the light is gone

It's been so long

Feels like pins and needles in my heart

So long

I can feel it tearing me apart

It's never a whisper, it's always a scream

The promise we make to kill the time between

They live in the heartbeat and sleep till the light is gone

It's been so long

Feels like pins and needles in my heart

So long

I can feel it tearing me apart
