London Killing

Oh it's been a long year
I'm tired and I'm scared
Raise my hand against this window
Desperation in the air

Oh I missed you so
But I am glad that we're done
Your medicine and brand-new friends
Replaced me now I'm gone

Well, you'll twist and turn
Chasing butterflies with knives
When you fall you'll feel the shining steel
Sink deep into your side

But I will stay sober
Long enough
To say goodbye for the last time
And I will stay sober
Long enough to tell a lie

That I'm sorry for the nightmares
That screaming you to sleep
And I'm sorry for the cold nights
Turn away, turn away from me

The night holds close
It's awful secrets so near
But how the moonlight sucks discretion
Screaming murder to the air

And it's hard to fall asleep
And every time I close my eyes
I am reminded of all the failures
All the times I coulda tried

So look for me
On the horizon as I leave
So wedded by the stars
Now cutting holes inside of me

But I will stay sober
Long enough
To say goodbye for the last time
And I will stay sober
Long enough to tell a lie

That I'm sorry for the nightmares
That screaming you to sleep
And I'm sorry for the cold nights
Turn away, turn away from me

With my hands on the world
And the world in my hands
Say goodbye
To my best friends
Just in case I don't see them again
Just in case I don't see them again

And I'm sorry for the nightmares
That screaming you to sleep
And I'm sorry for the cold nights
Turn away, turn away from me

I'm sorry for the nightmares
That screaming you to sleep
I'm sorry for the nightmares
Turn away, turn away from me
