Steal Your Words

I massacred the afternoon
To the sound of rain drumming against parked cars
I drenched myself in desperate colors for you
I was dripping for your sympathy

I wear this weakness on my sleeve
I'd like to put you on, I'd like to wear you out

Solitary day
Forgive me for the blood you shed
City night, hear my footsteps
They echo through these empty streets

I've been haunting this apartment at night
Closed lips, abandoned ships, straightened paper clips
And I get nauseous when the light isn't right
I listen faithfully when they illuminate for me

I wear your greatness on my spine
I'd like to steal your words, I'd like to give you mine

Solitary day
Forgive me for the war I waged
City night, hear my heartbeat
It echoes through these flooding streets

And we can save ourselves from sinking
We can save ourselves from sinking
Solitary day
