Your hand shakes and he inches closer
Like a snake but the bites last longer
Your heart breaks but he's won you over again
You're afraid to cut out this cancer
You shouldn't stay but you need some answers
Either way, you just need a shoulder to rest your head
Cause he's all smoke and mirrors
Try to see a little clearer
His aggressive demeanor's got no end
Pray to god you're fast asleep
And I'd do anything for you to keep on dreaming
And this porcelain's too much to sweep
And these old pictures are just bound to keep on creasing
You wanna bloom like a four leaf clover
There's never room in the cold of winter
And they'll assume that your leaves fell right from your stem
A seed takes and the insects scatter
The first flakes and the nights come faster
The earth quakes hoping you won't wither with him
He's all smoke and mirrors
Try to see a little clearer
His aggressive demeanor's got no end
Pray to god you're fast asleep
And I'd do anything for you to keep on dreaming
And this porcelain's too much to sweep
And these old pictures are just bound to keep on creasing
Say what you wanna say, leave an honest letter
Take what you need to take, empty out the dresser
Breathe just a little breath, mitigate the pressure
Face what you gotta face first off the precipice
Pray to god you're fast asleep
And I'd do anything for you to keep on dreaming
And this porcelain's too much to sweep
And these old pictures are just bound to keep on creasing
Yeah, you're seven years too late
Still haunted by that date
Still haunted by that date
Yeah, you're seven years too late
Still haunted by that date
Still haunted by that date
