days before you came..

..
freezing cold and empty
towns that change their name
and a horn of plenty

..
counting breaths inside me
even crack cocaine
couldn't start to hide me

won't you join me now?
baby's looking torn and frayed
join the masquerade
join the masquerade

..
it always seemed enticing
to be naked and profane
there is no denying

..
thunderbolts and lightning
each day a brand new vein
each tourniquet colliding

I didn't want you anyway
I didn't want you anyway
I didn't want you anyway
I didn't want you anyway
