Shallow Lives

Spread words about me without truth tonight we drown
another morning another place starlit eyes slowly glaze over
fake that you are in control they don't look close enough anyway
these blatant emotions won't keep us together made up lovers
once the prettiest girl now she is but a skeleton slowly adrift
;;;;
Slowly hold me in a pressure choke hold tonight we drown
you've got me love sick this disease refuses to leave my mind
rebel against the stereotype that is forcing you to become a lie
pray for the unknown let the moon hear your wishes sing a lullaby
become an empty shell sleeping with forever shadows watery depths
;;;;
Silently addicted to this black and white murmur tonight we drown
killing with glances tangled up inside strike out with vengeance
we are broken beyond repair yet you're too young to die
the grudge is held captive in your eyes feel the electric shock
throw me a life saver I can't stay afloat any longer shallow lives end
