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 of 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 of 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
