It took a while for you to settle down settle in You took the cinnamon and washed it out of your mouth And when the guillotine came down it snapped over my neck Still once you looked away you were gone There's only diligence in those who try to cut you down And once they do the tremors echo coast to coast And when you dream Do you wake up soaked in red colored sweat Love seems so far away from anything you want now There's a part of me that never wants to see you again And there's a part of me that needs you now I don't know why my brain was wired fifty fifty but now It seems I'm the only one oblivious It's spreading like a disease that's what you wanted When it was here now it's the curse you got And when you fled to California I was somewhere at home Just trying desperately to brush it off Sucked out the venom and you spit it out of your mouth But I'm not sure I wanna die slow My heart's still broken But something would have done it somehow Some things just never end up like you thought
