The Ballad of Marcus & Maria

I close my eyes
And another month flies away
I guess what I'm trying to say
Is I've been thinking about you
Then I realize
That I've been left astray
Another life wasted away
All thanks to you
But I told myself so many times
Back when we saw the Vegas lights
Through sharpened knives and loaded guns
There's no way we're getting out of this one
'Cause pain's the only
Thing that defines me
It's all that surrounds me
To make sense of it all is insane
To think that I will survive this
The poison on my lips
Is the only thing that numbs the pain
I stoke your cheek
Getting under your skin
Slowly creeping in
Getting close to you
I start to peak
Still taste you on my tongue
You promise we'd have fun
Nothing much else to do
But I told myself so many times
Back when we saw the Vegas lights
Through sharpened knives and loaded guns
We're still not gonna make it out of this one
'Cause pain's the only
Thing that defines you
It's all that surrounds you
To make sense of it all is insane
To think that you will survive this
The poison on your lips
Is the only thing that numbs the pain
Devoted our lives to this
Game we despise
With guns in our hands as we
Aim down the sights
Look where we are
Right back at the start
This is our last chance
At this toxic romance
We're not getting out of this one
We're never gonna get out of this one
There's no chance we're getting out of this one
We wont make it out
'Cause pain's the only
Thing that defines us
It's all that surrounds us
To make sense of it all is insane
To think that we will survive this
The poison on our lips
Is the only thing that numbs the pain
The only thing that numbs away the pain
The only thing that numbs the pain
