My love, you love your time machine
00:11
Your power trips and diamond rings
00:14
The walls you built on teenage dreams
00:17
The well you dug for sinking things
00:20
Your words to kill are evergreen
00:22
So you must not feel anything at all
00:25
But how'd you get so bulletproof?
00:34
You trade your time for inside truths
00:36
Trade your time for any clue
00:39
Of what to do or not to do
00:42
Hate to say it's nothing new
00:44
Aside from those few girls you keep around
00:47
But how will it end?
00:56
How long will you give me?
00:58
'Til you twist the knife with a smile while you kill me
01:01
And you ask me to dance if there's someone around
01:06
You don't look the same when I look at you now
01:11
Well, honey pie, you're haunting me
01:36
I fell for your faux fantasy
01:38
You poured the wine, there's poison in it
01:41
Disregard my disposition
01:44
Truth is in the subtle things
01:46
Your eggshell floor is splintering now
01:49
And it freaks me out I'm old enough
01:56
To know you as a gateway drug
01:59
You're everything I'll never be
02:01
You live to look for enemies
02:04
I have to bet that's lonely
02:06
Could leave you with an empty house
02:09
But how will it end?
02:17
How long will you give me?
02:19
'Til you twist the knife with a smile while you kill me
02:22
Then you ask me to dance if there's someone around
02:27
You don't look the same when I look at you now
02:32
And I used to pretend that it didn't feel evil
02:37
Your light of a million suns burns through people
02:41
And bridges and cities 'til ash covers ground
02:47
A breath of your air is a death wish
02:52
And you're forcing my hand, but I'm a drop in your ocean
02:57
I ruined your plans of some grand self-promotion
03:02
The second you figured that I figured you out
03:07
Now you look away when I look at you now
03:12
Oh, look at you now
03:19
Well, look at you
03:24
Look at you
03:29

My love, you love your time machineYour power trips and diamond rings

You trade your time for inside truths
Trade your time for any clue
