Drowning in Desire

Gravity pulls at me
Daring me to fly
In the face of everything
I've ever known
Could this be my one last chance
My one last chance to try
I'm letting go
Of all the things I am
To stay afloat when I'm
Drowning in desire
Dreams have a way
Of dying out on their own
I give and I give
I never get
Because I don't need the spotlight
Anymore
I'm letting go
Of all the things I am
To stay afloat when I'm
Drowning in desire

Today, I lost my friends
I lost them all
I left them all to dust
I pushed them out my stead
I got on with life
I moved on with time, no surprise
Sycophants will notice I'm not always good
I cut deeper than roots
When I try, I'm a fire reaching higher
Your heart's in the way
How can I get away?
I'll leave you all alone
Just please let me go
Shattered glass, we've all made this mess
How am I only left to repair what you've kept?
Disillusionment, intelligence -- full of shit
You're the kiss that Death missed
As you retweet your sins
Don't expect to hear
I'm nowhere sorry for my crimes
Your heart's in the way
How can I get away?
Your scars will heal, they'll heal over your pain
I'll leave you all alone
Just please let me go
Light up the match
We can burn this down for days
Bury me in the ground
And watch me slip away
All this time you were rolling dice
Searching for a sign
Of where you fit in
Where you might matter
It wasn't here all along
Here's to you, I know it's early
You'll want this drink when I'm gone
When I have tamed all the sirens
When I have cleared this brushfire

Waiting for the honest truth
I'm like a wolf
Hunting down on his prey
You've got the moves
To turn me out loose
Don't you keep me
Out on your lead
Call it a revolution
Honey, you're seeing stars
I'm sounding off all your alarms
How could be?
How did we meet?
I'm the Atlas holding your keys
All right, I know you're mine
Take your time
It will be just fine
Go on and be my direction
I need your attention
I've got you on in my mind
All right, I know you're mine
Take your time
It will be just fine
Go on and be my direction
I need your attention
I've got you on in my mind
Push it up
Pull it down
I see only you
All my days have been spent
Waiting for you
To be the trigger
My holy elixir
That's right
I only asked for you on hand, my love
What I need to know is that
Do you wanna be with me?
All my days I've been
Waiting for you
I've been waiting for you

It's been a long time coming
I hope you're ready for me
I'm spinning out on the road
I've got a vendetta with a city
Whose lights never gave me
The spark that I had waited so long
Hollowed and burnt to the ground
I am leaving this town
I'm leaving you now
I hope you feel
The way I do
I'm gonna get gone away
Satellites thrust through the sky
Yeah, we're known for our lies
But that doesn't mean I have to expire
I've got the drive of a lion
Who's held back and tied up
With chains I didn't know I was fighting
Hey, come on, relax
I'll never send you back
We're getting out of town
Holiday, permanent stay
We're leaving the past
I hope you feel
The way I do
I hope you can feel it
The way like I do
I'm gonna get gone away
Paradise, feeling it right
We'll leave in the night
We won't say goodbye, yeah
