The Ivory & The Pills
(Verse 1)
You’re the only thing beautiful when it’s falling apart
Speaking life to a canvas, making high-fashion art
With a three-string guitar and a ghost of a song
You’re the only place, babe, where I ever belonged.
But do you ever look back at the mess that we made?
The kids that we were, and the price that we paid?
(Chorus)
So let’s get high and sing it one more time
Drift into the void, leave the wreckage behind
In the Upside Down, where we can't be found
Just dancing in the park on this hollowed-out ground
You’re twisted and crazy, never boring or plain
And I’m still right here, through the blood and the rain.
(Bridge)
Do you remember that morning? The taste of the pills?
A fistful of sleep just to quiet the thrills
I told you "Goodbye" before French started at nine
I was ready to leave all the chaos behind.
Then I woke up three hours later, staring at white
In a hospital bed, reaching back for the light
You were there in the static, you were there in the hall
The only one steady when I decided to fall.
(Verse 2)
Now we’re dancing in public, clothes gone who knows where?
Only God knows the truth, but I don’t even care
'Cause we’re fucked in the head, but I’ve got your back
I’ll find you in the shadows, I’ll find you in the black
You kiss those ivory keys and the silence just breaks
You’re the best thing I’ve found in a life of mistakes.
(Outro)
Yeah, you’re my girl.
My best friend.
Crazy, twisted...
But we’re still here in the end
