Roman Candle (Demo)

I'm half awake, half asleep, and half dead
Colorful lights keep me so alive
But the flood is messing with my head

It's all fun and games
Sleepless laid to waste
Drunken alleyways and pumpkin pattycakes
Give me a reason to sleep soundly
'Cause every year this season starts to drown me

I can smell it in the air, the leaves are falling off the table
It's a precious thing to bear when you're stripped down butt naked
John is limping down the sidewalk
Says that he once "killed a man"
Ripped the lies right out of his heart
Until he couldn't stand

Oh it's all fun and games
Sleepless laid to waste
Drunken alleyways and pumpkin pattycakes
So give me a reason to sleep soundly
'Cause every year this season starts to drown me

So lock the door and keep the lights down low
The devil's selling tickets to the puppet show
John's out smoking his cigarettes
He never knew what he was getting himself into
He talks advice and stories about life
I never listen because I don't want to die
But pretty soon the clouds will shed their grey
And John will live to tell another day

It's all fun and games
Sleepless laid to waste
Drunken alleyways and pumpkin pattycakes
So give me a reason to sleep soundly
'Cause every year this season tries to drown me

It's all fun and games
