Burning Mirror

We take a bath, we get dressed up, we hit the club for a dance.

We shake some hands, get back in my car, we're on the road by ten.

I watch the moon turn red, I crank some early Zep.

I hear your laughter dawdle behind me, I feel your sick breath on my neck.

Your hurt me, yeah you did.

I bite my tongue, I fix my tie, adjusting my eyes to the moon.

Every shadow now perfectly gaping, dressing your face like a wound.

Coveting life as a wolf, hopelessly selfish alone.

Without your barrel under my chin, I take a good look at your throat.

I'm gonna hurt you, yeah I will.

I slam my foot on the brakes going 80, every vacant behind us exploding

I lift your face off the dash, you gurgle and spit then you ask,

"Am I the monster you fear in your nightmares or is it the poltergeist seen in your mirror?"

All I can do is laugh for all of the youth that we had

I pull the car off the road, I pull you through the window

I drag you through the rugged stones, I hear the cruel snaps in your bones

I ask if you ever loved me, and all you say is, "please."

That's not what I want, that's not what you'll get, I cry while you beg on your knees

I can't forgive you, you won't forgive me.

Baby I thought this was it, I thought we'd be better than this

I thought about moonlighting gangsters, some Bonnie and Clyde type of shit

Awful antics aside, I'm choosing a suicide

Gripping my legs, my tears in your hair, I fell our smug faith rob us blind

It's not what I wanted but it's what we deserve.

Every angel, in every teardrop, every little ghost that we drank

Screaming for a brief conclusion, a massive plate of blood that we ate

We used to think we were young but now all we are are wolves

We had it coming, with our eager stomachs, I ruined us both over love.

Depart from the horror filled nightmares of blood we spilled, our souls we gave to the wind

Depart from the qeres root, your business and leisure suit; turn all your fears to the wind

If we got 'em, save our souls.
