lyrics

You came in on a running start.
Thinking, how'd we get here?
But that past life is never around.
If I could even show it.

Now that we're back here, get on with it.
It's in that letter.
And you're nothing.

Princess undone, beauty queen, setting sun, backseat brewing.
They knew you were the only one, to get out of here, to be the beautiful one.
An angel to a son.

Now that we're back here, get on with it.
It's in that letter.
And you're nothing.

A silent shroud.
But when you dance, I can really love you.

Everything is want.
Everything is need.
Everything is want.
Everything is need.
A killer crept, while the city sleeps.
Behind battered doors, cartridges clean.
And still so let down.

Everything is want.
Everything is need.
The hunt descends, over misty peaks.
Under a starless sky, steal gleans.
And what you want, isn't what you need.
And still so let down.
