lyrics

I took the backstreet, the lighting fit, it's calm down in the gutters
A fading silhouette, and all the common sense, says this is no place for lovers
I am the violent mutt, whose vocal cords are cut, and yells out in silence
This is the stabbing wound, the match that lit the fumes, this is the pain that you die with

The blood fills my mouth, spills through my teeth
Down for the count, dead center in the ring
Can someone tell me my name, I'll believe anything
I'll believe anything

Kept to the backstreets, the lighting fit, looked for myself in the puddles
Ashed my cigarette, took a couple steps, and wiped the blood from my knuckles
I heard an ambulance, it sounded like romance, calling out for a rescue
This is the crucible, this is the pitfall, I'd keep the pain if it kept you

My legs feel weak and my knees give in
My eyes roll back, the sweat breaks on my skin
Can someone tell me my name, I'll believe anything
I'll believe anything

I searched the alleyways, in the cover of night
And found an apathy, that cut through the wind like a knife
I took the fire escape, I heard the rooftops calling out my name.
It's not the fear of heights that kills me…

I see the backstreets, the lighting fits, most things are lost in the shadows
I see apartment suites, and it leaves me longing for a time when I had hope
I see her every where, she's even in the air, she's in my lungs, she's my sickness
This is my fatal flaw, this is the pitfall, but I'm the only witness

My head feels light, my balance is off
I'm losing my sight, there's a break in my jaw
Can someone tell me my name, I'll believe anything
I'll believe anything

I searched the alleyways, in the cover of night
And found a silent apathy, in the wind like a knife
I took the fire escape, I heard the rooftops calling
It's not the fear of heights that kills me, It's the fear of falling
Down, I feel like I'm falling, down.
