lyrics

i wouldn't eat and i wouldn't go to sleep
you are projecting all of the stars for me
water's flowing all around me convince myself that you're just sleeping
under the rusty eye of where the people sleep
you are the nothing that i wouldn't want to be
desert story a picture for me death is kicking in my memory

i still can't believe that you’re gone
i still can't believe that you’re gone
i still can't believe that you’re gone

when you are laughing death is gonna come for you
green little hands will reach across my bed for you
there's nothing alive in this house comets crash into my room now
aliens are coming wake up in a golden dream
between the edges of your own insanity
where you’re going i won't follow skin is turning dark and hollow

i still can't believe that you’re gone
i still can't believe that you’re gone
i still can't believe that you’re gone

the way you are i couldn't stop you
i couldn't be there
cause you lied

you came into me
but i couldn't set you free
you opened the door

but now water's flowing all around me convince myself that you're just sleeping
projecting the star map you know what you've gotta do
burn down the house and get yourself up on the roof
throw yourself into the sky now lock yourself inside your room now
