Silverlake 65:71 - My Ruin

The forecast said it would be sunny

I guess they got it wrong

It’s raining again in Silverlake

And I need to hear my song

The one that puts me in the mood

To spill my guts and talk to you

Saves me from my self-inflicted worry when I do

Oh, you’re asleep right now but I’m still wide awake

It’s hard for me to close my eyes without no pill to take

I think of all the times I tried, the nights I dreamed I’d died

Help me feel alive again 'cause I’m so dead inside

Well, I’m a liar and you’re my saint

It feels so good being the one they hate

And I’m a sinner, so let’s all pray

I wouldn’t want it any other way

Well, have you heard the news, I’ve got a blue bruise on my hip

The truth can be a brutal business, I just need a kiss

Someone to tape my wrists, I think that I’m about to bleed

But I know it’s not up to you to give me what I need

Oh, you’re awake right now so I must be asleep

It seems I’ve got a secret that I ain’t afraid to keep

I think of all the times I tried to tell you how I feel

But it’s so hard to mend my wounds that just refuse to heal

Well, I’m a liar and you’re my saint

It feels so good being the one they hate

And I’m a sinner, so let’s all pray

I wouldn’t want it any other way

Take me back, let’s go back

It’s so dark here, it’s so black

Exquisite with stillness, the fragrance of flesh

The taste of revenge and my wounds are still fresh

Now here she comes with her bloody red lips

Funeral-white skin and her generous hips

Drenched in the scent of romance like no other

She’s so filthy gorgeous that death has become her

Well, I’m a liar and you’re my saint

It feels so good being the one they hate

And I’m a sinner, so let’s all pray

I wouldn’t want it any other way
