An Actress

I watch you die cause I know you saw such life in me
I watch your eyes lose a piece every time we meet
Can we just choke the breeze and lie the way
Your blood was mine to keep
We're numbing out
Cause we know pesky little feelings always flee

I must be the one thing
That's kept you from flailing off your feet
I imagine an actress would've hidden her disease

My frame is stained from the way that you bit these sheets
Coping mechanically has always wrecked the best of me
Can we just choke the breeze and lie the way
Your blood was mine to keep
We're numbing out cause we know pesky little feelings always flee

I must be the one thing that's kept you from flailing off your feet
I imagine an actress would've hidden her disease
You wear the face of every pretty broken heart with a defective start
So I'll keep the hell away
Left mourning the innocence you've lost

I must be the one thing
You're so predictable
I must be the one thing
You're so predictable

Ashes to ashes, my angel rests in dust
Feathers paint the picture frames in this golden age of rust
Ashes to ashes, my angel rests in dust
Feathers paint the picture frames in this golden age of rust

I must be the one thing that's kept you from flailing off your feet
I imagine an actress would've hidden her disease
You wear the face of every pretty broken heart with a defective start
So I'll keep the hell away
Left mourning the innocence you've lost

I must be the one thing
I imagine
I must be the one thing
You're so predictable
I must be the one thing that's kept you from flailing off your feet
So I'll keep the hell away
Left mourning the innocence you've lost
