[Verse 1]
The screen is glowing in the dark, a digital ghost
I’m haunting every picture that I love the most
You cut the cord so clean, didn't leave a fray
But I’m still bleeding out in the light of day
The sheets are cold on your side of the king-size bed
I’m replaying every single word you never said
A silent movie where the hero always dies
I’m drowning in the memory of your paper-thin lies.
[Pre-Chorus]
And they say that time is a healer, a friend
But time is just a hallway that’ll never end
I’m staring at the door, waiting for the click
The silence in this house is making me sick.
[Chorus]
I’m a wreck, I’m a ruin, I’m a beautiful mess
Still wearing the ghost of your hands on my chest
You broke it, you bought it, then you threw it away
But I’m still in love with the price that I pay
My heart’s in the gutter, but it’s beating for you
Black-and-blue rhythm, nothing I can do
Oh, it’s a dark, dark devotion
Drinking your poison like a magic potion.
[Verse 2]
I saw your car idling under the streetlamp light
Or maybe I’m just seeing shadows in the night
I’ve got a fever and the only cure is gone
I’m dancing with a skeleton until the dawn
You’re out there breathing air that doesn’t taste like me
I’m locked in a cage and you’ve got the only key
It’s pathetic, it’s tragic, it’s a work of art
How much I still adore the girl who tore me apart.
[Chorus]
I’m a wreck, I’m a ruin, I’m a beautiful mess
Still wearing the ghost of your hands on my chest
You broke it, you bought it, then you threw it away
But I’m still in love with the price that I pay
My heart’s in the gutter, but it’s beating for you
Black-and-blue rhythm, nothing I can do
Oh, it’s a dark, dark devotion
Drinking your poison like a magic potion.
[Bridge]
(Music drops to a pulsing, distorted heartbeat)
Break me again just to feel your touch
Loving you a little is a little too much
Burn the whole house down, I’ll stay in the fire
You’re my only saint and my only liar
(Screamed/Whispered)
I’m still yours. I’m still yours.
[Chorus]
I’m a wreck, I’m a ruin, I’m a beautiful mess
Still wearing the ghost of your hands on my chest
You broke it, you bought it, then you threw it away
But I’m still in love with the price that I pay
My heart’s in the gutter, but it’s beating for you
Black-and-blue rhythm, nothing I can do
Oh, it’s a dark, dark devotion
Drinking your poison like a magic potion.
[Outro]
Drinking your poison...
It’s a dark devotion...
I’m still here...
