Monochrome

Say it again the way you did back then
And I'll pretend that I'm not set alight by cadence
Oh, we head back home to overdose on black coffee
Drinking in monochrome and spit out blasphemy

I wanna say it to you but I was unsure
I've heard this breathing before, this pitching, preening carnivore
(Carni-, carni-, carnival)
Constantly praying to you, holding thirty silver
Hoping you can read between these lines
Proselytized, just like the way that we always used to

We talk, we talk a superstition
And it's one that I'm not sure enough
I think there's only darkness when you
Die, die, die, die, die (grant me one respite)
I live, I live in split-decisions
When I can't relegate my mind
I'll pray to anything that gets me
By, by, by, by, by (the art of dying twice)

We all fake fine
Dishonest all the way
I see your face
Hello again, old neural pathways
Oh, we'll act it out to charge the crowd attendance fees
We'll sell the rights, then we'll donate the proceeds

I wouldn't say it to you if I was unsure
Feels like we've been here before this wretched, indoor carnival
(Carni-, carni-, carnival)
The last time I held my breath, it was at yours
Wish that I could be like rust or broken glass
At least they do while I just sit somewhere in the middle

We talk, we talk a superstition
And it's one that I'm not sure enough
I think there's only darkness when you
Die, die, die, die, die (grant me one respite)
I live, I live in split-decisions
When I can't relegate my mind
I'll pray down on my knees to get me
By, by, by, by, oh

And if you gotta leave tonight, could you take me with you?
Could you take me with you?
Oh, could you take me with you?
And if you gotta leave tonight, could you take me with you?
Could you take me with you?
Oh, could you take me with you?

If you gotta leave tonight, could you take me with you?
Could you take me with you?
Oh, could you take me with you?
If you gotta leave tonight, could you take me with you?
Could you take me with you?
Oh, could you take me with you?
