[verse 1: allison tulloss]
i keep the k!ller hidden in my head
i keep a camera mounted in my bedroom
the colors on my canvas give me dread
if i can’t go to sleep, i can’t pretend to
preachers keep on whispering the dark
there’s nothing that they say i want to sing for you
i can offer pieces of my heart
it’s the only thing of value i can give to you

[bridge 1: allison tulloss]
behind in that department, benign in my apartment
be lying, if i’m honest, be lying, if i’m honest
(behind in that department, benign in my apartment)
(be lying, if i’m honest, be lying, if i’m honest)

[verse 2: allison tulloss]
i’m forgetting all the things i said
things might seem much clearer in the daylight
i often stagger when i’m being led
and suffer when i give in without a fight

[bridge: allison tulloss]
denying in the darkness, we shine when we’re unconscious
denying in the darkness, we shine when we’re unconscious

[verse 3: allison tulloss]
i’m not allowed to sing about the moon
i’m creaming all the f-ckers that ignore you
war-ship sigils looming in the nose
and all the lonely suckers sing the blues
and all the lonely suckers sing the blues

[pre-chorus 1: allison tulloss]
believe that i’ve given into good magic
it’s not static
right from underneath the wrong
it’s just that i’m not always on

[chorus: allison tulloss]
and i will drift away from you, like i always do
but try to keep me in your heart if you could
’cause that’s what i hold onto in the dark
i hope that’s understood

[verse 4: allison tulloss]
i watch the rain collect in little streams
investing gold in daydreams i can see through
certain birds will fly into the screen
you still can’t defend what you pretend to
here’s a joke that someone said to me
it’s not that funny, but i’m gonna’ tell it to you
i’ll still give you pieces of my heart
it’s the only chance i have that we will see this through

[bridge 3: allison tulloss]
been riding out the recent, and winding out the rejects
been riding out the recent, and winding out the rejects

[verse 5: allison tulloss]
remember when you asked me to grow up
and steer it back to roads we knew the names of?
i’d ask you to grow down, but you won’t trust
so i burnt up your instructions with a flame gun
we used to speak by telepathic means
drive around in cities that were cloudier
our difference has us severed by the seams
no room for p-ssies here in netherlandia

[interlude: allison tulloss]
drive around in cities that were cloudier
drive around in cities that were cloudier

[pre-chorus 2: allison tulloss]
i walk the unseen rooms ’till dawn
and write it in my catalogue
the painted diamond on my wall
and beneath my drum set
tell me there’s good things to come, ’cause you owe me one
you know there’s nothing that i wouldn’t do for you
but all these things might come to fall apart
what we set out to lose

[chorus: allison tulloss]
and i will drift away from you, like i always do
but try to keep me in your heart if you could
’cause that’s what i hold onto in the dark
i hope that’s understood
