lyrics

I've got the fading outline
On my chest from your teeth
You draw mysterious lines
On the bed when you sleep

"Dynamic Czars of the Underworld"
I still don't know what that means
But it's the best line I've heard
And you're the best that I've seen

Sometimes I feel I'm unraveling
Worn down by too much traveling
So when you ask to be tied up
It only seems like the natural thing

Some people living their lies
Some people living their dreams
Most times you spend your whole life
Stuck somewhere in between

But now I don't need a guide
To know I'm where I should be
But goddamn I keep thinking my eyes
Are playing tricks upon me

Sometimes I feel like I have to laugh
Like my mind is all stems and caps
I see design behind happenstance
Too busy placating emptiness

I know that time is an hourglass
And I'm just watching the sand slip past
Cuz when you're here by my side
I'm counting how long each moment lasts

Dynamic Czars of the Underworld...
