Skeleton Key

After you leave me
Do you find it easy to get seduced?
Who are you waiting for
When you're not waiting for me?

You could have broken me out of this life
That I'm chained to
I gave you my skeleton key
And you gave it away

But where have you been?
A ghost of a lover
Counting my heartbeats
'Til I see your hologram eyes

You can take it away
I won't live by my hunger
I'll keep you in still frames
A celluloid dream in the back of my mind

I know we're doomed
Yeah, baby, please don't remind me
I want you the way
That I want to be eaten alive

For all of the nights
That I made you applaud my soliloquies
What would it take
To make me a thorn in your side?

At the end of it all
Did you get what you wanted?
Afraid of the things that you'd do
For a life that's not yours

I don't mean to be cruel
But I'm so fucking haunted
I don't think you know what I mean
When I say that I've been here before

Did it break your heart
Or did you see it coming?
Led to the edge of the world
With the sun in my eyes

Then I'm back in that dream
And I'm running forever
I'll wake up with your hands on my lungs
For the rest of my life
