lyrics

You heard that story all before
bout how's a pair of hopeless heartaches
taught each other how to break the fall with hopes of stargaze
a galaxy away, all at stake, trying to play the king and queen
even though its hard to call a spade a spade
sometimes but, never mind the symbolism the simplest of living bears complexities of dishes in the kitchen.
habitual
eventually the ventricles get smaller
seems the more dependent more they venture even farther
love, yes believe it still
nonetheless lust and sex are often just a trailer
of your favorite feature film
she took him by the hand
said "Look I under stand, I'm not as beautiful to you as once before but what's the chance..."
He stuttered as he interrupted still don't know to this day what she
meant to say but all he said was "Wh What?"
stomach clenched and faced with the reality of letting her down
so quiet you can hear his heart tremble out loud
How could he let this angle make believe she's not adored?
Feeling like the devil trying to disconnect the horns
Wish he know the words, but now he's mumbling and slow
this can't be just how much she'll ever know.

Chorus x2
In the dead of winter tonight
An autopsy by moonlight
trying to solve or kill the mood like
just hoping two wrongs can do right
right right?
new life
life life

Verse 2
Held captive under the pale glow she said
"don't worry cause I'm still yours, but hey,
if you need to you can still go
still owned to keep,
my hearts locked behind a steel door"
immediately mitigating pain
to the little bits of brain that feel that shit will never change
to feel a bit of strange, trying to learn to love
is like the syllabus was changed
just to trick the brain
on the other hand, she could never love another man
nor could he, love another woman like the love they had
so what the hell is going on here?
something just went wrong here
something built a wall up in-between them now with all mirrors
for them to blame themselves
yet smiling in the pictures getting dusty on the shelves
once upon a time
happily ever before
scenic route seems to veer somehow into a detour
so they sat and looked into each others eyes
not believing or assuming that the love had died
tuning up a reason to resume another try like
the only way they'll lose each other now is if they die.

Chorus 2x2
In the dead of winter tonight
An autopsy by moonlight
trying to solve or kill the mood like
just hoping two wrongs can do right
right right?
new life
life life
