meet me where the dead dance
they may be gone but we’ve still got a chance
they rupture minds and call it fun
yet little do they know i’m on the run

there’s police everywhere, justice nowhere
these pills bring me shivers but so does your stare
and oh that’s not fair
because i don’t even love you
i’ve got two wings and they’re ready for the skies
i’ve got two wings and they’re ready for, ready for love’s demise
i’ve got two wings and i’m already on the rise

there was no fallout, only distance
as we fell apart
no screams, no tears
only the fear
of drifting towards ache
just red eyes, dry lips,
empty and detached
until the bitter end honey
i don’t want this brightness, this fake sympathy
please just dim the lights
and let me breathe

there’s police everywhere, justice nowhere
these pills bring me shivers but so does your stare
and oh that’s not fair
because i don’t even love you
i’ve got two wings and they’re ready for the skies
i’ve got two wings and they’re ready for, ready for love’s demise
i’ve got two wings and i’m already on the rise

it’s fight or flight
but some birds have might
and i am a phoenix
we acted like lovers oh
in the crowd i shook
you pulled me out and we danced
i spun in the middle of the street
oh what a chance
and for once i didn’t care
but oh how that all changed

there’s police everywhere, justice nowhere
these pills bring me shivers but so does your stare
i’ve got two wings and they’re ready for the skies
i’ve got two wings and they’re ready for, ready for love’s demise
i’ve got two wings and i’m already on the rise

and i'm ready to fight
