lyrics

These bar lights are lower than a casket
But your bright eyes still shimmer from the sun
How can you smell so sweet, when everybody here
Is filled with dark desires and never ending, raging fear.

This small town is empty as your promise
That you'd stay with me til the end of time
The windows are all shuttered and the eyes are all closed
They bump into each other, while you sit so composed.

The locomotive writes your goodbye letter in the air
I hug your pillow close to me so I can smell your hair
Let me go to hell the way I want to
Go to hell the way I want to
You can't save me from the things I do
Let me go to hell the way I want to

My shame is burning hotter than the desert
There's only one way this is going to end
If I looked into a mirror, it'd probably be fatal
this self-destructive fervor has me under the table

By stops and starts my bottle digs a hole for me to fill
If I could pull the goddamn cards, but I never will
Let me go to hell the way I want to
Go to hell the way I want to
You can't save me from the things I do
Let me go to hell the way I want.

You can't save me. You can't save me
You can't save me from the things I do

Let me go to hell the way I want to
