So bittersweet the smell of dead roses
Yesterday was seven weeks
Cold yellow skin failing fingers slip
falling bottles break the silence
A goodbye kiss for awkward moments
placed on poorly painted cheeks
the door slams force a final sip
fall asleep and dream of flying
Why lie through your teeth to prove yourself wrong
Put on your darkest eyes we'll hit the town tonight
and for once she won't hit back
We'll act like you've never been here
they'll act like you'd never been alive
Put on your darkest eyes we'll hit the town tonight
and for once we won't look back
Nothing behind us swallow yesterday and laugh
we'll be sugar coated faced buried in ages of faded photographs
and those sticky lips long since licked clean
they are learning letting go
The door slams force a final fistful
I'll sleep and dream of flying again
I lied through my teeth I knew all along
Put on your darkest eyes we'll hit the town tonight
and for once she won't hit back
We'll act like you've never been here
they'll act like you'd never been alive
Put on your darkest eyes we'll hit the town tonight
and for once we won't look back
