lyrics

I was sitting in the car
trying to tell a story 'bout my life and your life too
and it was mostly lies; just prophecies and things
but a part of me thought it was true
a part of me thought it was true

so, I wake up in the morning, and I wake up in the night
and I wonder if it's possible to hurt too much to try
then you crown me with antlers, tell me to run and hide
I've seen a god naked and won't make it out alive

I didn't mean it
you didn't see it
I never thought I would destroy myself for you
so, make me feel it
I don't believe it
what did I do to make you think that I betrayed you

so, I wake up in the morning, and I wake up in the night
and I spin wheels of dreaming that dissolve in the light
and I touch myself to sirens that speak of my demise
did I want this from you all along? I think I saw it in your eyes.

feel the body heat of everything you've ever loved die
feel the baptism of sweat that's rolling down your spine
your halo that marks me as a saint
don't protect me from the horrors you leave in your wake

I didn't mean it
you didn't see it
I never thought I would destroy myself for you
so, make me feel it
I don't believe it
what did I do to make you think that I betrayed you

just sitting where I was, just sitting
I can't escape from your love
you know me too well, dragged me through hell
and I know it's just a game you play
but I was never good at games

so, I wake up in the morning, and I wake up in the night
and I know that it's possible to hurt too much to try
then you crown me with antlers, tell me to run and hide
I've seen a god naked and won't make it out alive

I didn't mean it
you didn't see it
I never thought I would destroy myself for you
so, make me feel it
I don't believe it
what did I do to make you think that I betrayed you
