May These Noises Startle You In Your Sleep Tonight - Pierce the Veil

If you wanted to set me free

Why the fuck wouldn't you say something?

I was just over seventeen

May the poison, cave in free

Oh no, please, don't abandon me

Mother, father, I love you so

But this is just me, disguised as me

I'm the killer who burned your home

This is the street youth rising up!

I cannot spend another night in this home

I close my eyes and take a breath real slow

The consequence is if I leave I'm alone

But what's the difference when you beg for love?

I run through glass in the street

Kerosene hearts carry the name that my father gave me

And take the face of the wolf

'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat

With heaven above you, there's hell over me

I met a girl who never looked so alone

Like sugar water in your mouth lukewarm

She tied a cherry stem for me with her tongue

We fell in love and now we're both alone

I don't need any more friends

And another kiss like a fire on pavement

We'll burn it down till the end

Oh, oh

This is a wasteland, my only retreat

With heaven above you, there's hell over me

The water is rusted, the air is unclean.

And there for a second I feel free

This is a wasteland, my only retreat

I've waited all this night to honor you and say,

"I know it's hard, but who are you to fall apart on me, on me?"

This is a wasteland, my only retreat

With heaven above you, there's hell over me

'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat

With heaven above you, there's hell over me

You said what about us, well, what about me?

Hang from the gallows asleep in the rain

'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat

Paralyze me

Don't let

me jump, don't let me fall
