The Wolf That Brings Flowers

Pace the halls where you once lingered
I'll pass out on the carpet
While I paint your picture
With colors I'll regret
I'm an architect of bitter form
It's a shame my blood still runs warm
Down and out it seems
I'm a miserable wreck
Full off self worth
Saturating me

Could've sworn you promised
That we'd share the same breaths
So batten down your door
Take the key from under the mat
I want to fight for your love

I never pick up when you call
It's a chore I don't think I'll ever get around
To crossing off, so I'll break it off
Calling your bluff
You're no good for me, and I'm no good for you
So let's make a pact to pretend we never met
When we're in public
Fighting the truth

Could've sworn you promised
That we'd share the same breaths
So batten down your door
Take the key from under the mat
I want to fight

Under your porch light I tried to propose
You said I was crazy, and all that I know
We got in your car and you drove all night
Until I sobered up in the passenger side
There we sinned in a church parking lot
For the sake of being young
I wore your breath as my Winter coat
Even in the Summer months when your love is so cold

You always said "It's never the right time"
But what is the right time
Am I on your mind

You always say it's never the right time
But what the fuck is the right time
Am I even on your mind

I don't know you anymore
But I miss it
I can recall the sound of your voice
But the words are still a mess
You are the wolf that brought flowers to my bed
