Dear Ms. White,
Put down this night
You wouldn't believe how much it snows
In the summer heat with red iron feet
You'll be nursing a bloody nose
Princess, rest
We talk in our sleep
But wouldn't dare to sit too close
I can't be your prince
Though your secrets are safe
I am the mirror who can't let go
With hair as black as night
Her skin, a dead, pearly white
And the blood, red on the bathroom wall
With every breath and every intake
Tip-toe further away
Further away from this mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint
(That's not what you needed anyway)
All the cold that you caught
The bones that you bought
The blood that you've lost
You built your body
In the coffin where you sleep
Let this apartment breathe
'Cause it's what it needs
I'm suffocating the clock to keep you
I think like a saint
But swing like a thief
And inadvertently leading you
To believe I'm your prince
Adorn your bedroom with hints
Take the red from your eyes
And ink it into your skin
Now watch what you say
'Cause there's nothing grey
About the color of your sin
With hair as black as night
Her skin, a dead, pearly white
And the blood, red on the bathroom wall
With every breath and every intake
Tip-toe further away
Further away from this mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint
(That's not what you needed anyway)
All the cold that you caught
The bones that you bought
The blood that you've lost
You built your body
In the coffin where you sleep
A fix
Just a little bit
Give the girl enough to sleep through this
So stop staring at the mirror
Before it tells you the truth
Cooperate or it'll kill you, too
With every breath and every intake
Tip-toe further away
You're bleeding, you're bloodshot
Tired mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint
(You need to see the pieces you've thrown away)
All the cold that you caught
The bones that you bought
The blood that you've lost
Keep your body
Get the hell away
From,
Me
