lyrics

a name only placed to fill the void of your shadow
a charm never dropped but slowly faded away
a love never harnessed but quickly poked out to start bleeding
a friendship too fiction to find something different to say

soon reality will let the truth unfold
the suspense ive built up for myself is getting old
t minus 40 seconds until
we're holding hands with the end of the world
at least when i pretend you're here

if i keep making up this shit i may as well be gone
too many details i don't know to keep me playing along
inventing feelings i don't have to write another verse
pull my head out from my ass and push it into hers
