Killing time down by the docks
You always wear unmatching socks
To match how you feel inside
Darkened eyes and bitter tea
You fall in love with the little things
That eat you up inside
But I’ve been dreaming I could save
A million people from the days they hate themselves
And try to be someone else
But I can’t even look at my own face
And feel I’ve taken up too much space
I’m done trying hard to be brave
Smoking cigs and downing gin
You try to force another grin
When you feel dead inside
Becomes too hard to hang out with friends
Everything now feels like the end
It's hard just to leave your bed
But I’ve been dreaming I could save
A million people from the days they hate themselves
And try to be someone else
But I can’t even look at my own face
And feel I’ve taken up too much space
I’m done trying hard to be brave
I first noticed your eyes when I was being crucified
You were standing nearby waving softly goodbye
To someone you have never met before
My eyelids got too heavy as I passed out on the floor
You nursed me back to health though you were living in hell
My sweet dancing vampire queen
When I opened up my eyes again to the light
You were too far to say goodbye
I couldn’t catch up this time
