Verse 3: By the time that I'm through singing The bells from the schools of wars will be ringing More confusions, blood transfusions The news today will be the movies for tomorrow And the water's turned to blood, and if You don't think so Go turn on your tub And it it's mixed with mud You'll see it turn to gray And you can call my name I hear you call my name

Put your swords away I'm already down The higher we both climb The further we fall Now we're under looking up into the floor And burn each other though we're dying for more We're stuck on this dysfunction, we love it to our death We celebrate destruction by lighting up this bed You can take your love away But don't you ever leave me alone Burn the ghosts we've carried home Come on, touch me Show me you're imperfect, too These broken lights They shine on us tonight We don't talk much When there's so much to say We don't listen, but yet we try anyway My stomach feels sick, bitter, and open Reveries of helplessness Have left me all but hopin' We strip each other's beauty We push it to the end We face each other smiling And leave it all unsaid You can take your love away But don't you ever leave me alone Burn the ghosts we've carried home Come on, touch me Show me you're imperfect, too These broken lights They shine on us tonight We kiss till we bleed We feel so much it's killing us We fight till were free And he threatens to leave but won't let me We cry till we see Infatuations break us down We're healing at three We dance inside this tragedy We dance inside this tragedy You can take your love away But don't you ever leave me alone Burn the ghosts we've carried home Come on, touch me Show me you're imperfect, too These broken lights.
