lyrics

Tell me are you happy now 
Watching this house that we built together burn to the ground? 
Dance in the ashes of my casket, 
Spill my blood on the floor, 
Dwell in the rafters of my home, 
But leave your heart at the door

Her drug, my medicine 
Get addicted, ripped to shreds, and swallowed whole 
The comedown is heavy, weighs down on my back
Wallow in the wake of years lost

So much time wasted on a better self
How can I be better without any help? 

Embrace the dark 
Watch me sink, let me suffer in silence 
The serpent in my dreams looks a lot like you.
The serpent in my dreams looks a lot like 
The serpent in my dreams looks a lot like 

Stay with me a little longer, 
Before you leave, spend some time at the bottom with me
Brooding by moonlight
While I shiver in the cold 
Alone. 
My body responds to the weather, 
My dread for each day grows and grows
If I smile, knock all my teeth out, because I’m faking it

Yeah it feels like I’m falling, 
But I've already hit the floor
Your body is my temple, 
My sin that I’ll answer for
Push and pull, yes and no, 
Tooth to flesh, nail to bone
You undress, I unfold

Embrace the dark, 
Watch me sink, let me suffer in silence 
The serpent in my dreams looks a lot like you 

Dance upon my ashes 
Dance upon my ashes 
Your burden no longer
Erase me as I have erased you. 
l’ll find better weather with somebody new
