Red lipstick but let's get realistic you ain't Marilyn The shade of red for every kind of man that you won't call again The prince is sitting on the castle of mirages (a self-shot artists) In the bathroom that's where you make your collages
I'm the farthest reaching planet from the star where you were standing That should be obvious but dammit this ain't how I planned it The hardest part of breaking up is first foot on the grant it's so I'm a try and manage
Shallow nights, shallow days Teach me how to live with all this poison under my veins I've become the person that I hated the most when I was young
Black zip up hoodie in the bed of a pickup truck With a 40 of whatever like who gives a fuck (Quick duck) When the lights are flashing and the city is like non-stop And you're driving back and forth like it was a pawn shop I'll be in the back of the bar taking shots to the head like Ong Bak
Put another quarter in the juke cause I don't wanna let this song stop This goes out to the young hearts that aren't right in some spots That blow up like sun spots and leave you with blood clots And to the dumb trots who think they can play my heart strings I'm just gonna open up and let the dark sing
Shallow nights, shallow days Teach me how to live with all this poison under my veins I've become the person that I hated the most when I was young When I was young [x5]
Slow down, down, down, down, down, down [x2]
Shallow nights, shallow days Teach me how to live with all this poison under my veins I've become the person that I hated the most when I was young When I was young [x5]
