In the city the air is dirty and my heart bursts into flames
This life keeps getting worse and love's a bastard
In the city the air is dirty and my heart bursts into flames
This life keeps getting worse and love's a bastard
You with a baby face, me with a robber's face and
Together like adrenaline and dopamine and
Drawn like opposite poles, wasted in nasty places
A flower, if you don’t water it and you trample it, dies
I bought you heels and earrings
Looking you in the eyes I taught you to live among the petty
To do better, to make people bow to you
While demons dragged me under like gravediggers
I come home wasted, brain fried, dawn’s outside
Zero calm, problems afloat, paranoia and heart pounding
I’d like to touch you, save myself but you’re not here now
And if you were you wouldn’t be how I’d like anymore
Lies kill me, madness splits us
Reality hurts, my kiss leaves you a bruise
But everything comes back, trouble claims me
Innocence is dead, I stained you forever
In the city the air is dirty and my heart bursts into flames
This life keeps getting worse and love's a bastard
In the city the air is dirty and my heart bursts into flames
This life keeps getting worse and love's a bastard
This dirty air presses, you grit your teeth and clench
Bro, the more you shove it away the more it sticks to your brain and squeezes
I hate, I don’t wish harm, I love, I don’t wish well
With my heart on fire the blood burns, kerosene
Bro, I scream then talk, mud, flower, saint and devil
I’d want you like this, not as I change you if I love you
Me in the middle of a street face down
Save yourself and run but if you want me to fight
I changed you and you’re not you anymore, I was burning
Now the fire of love’s out, now I spend little
You can drown in a sea of tears or swim back
I see scars inside the mirror of my desires
But it’s no fairy tale, my world of blades and necklaces
Mama, who knows who loves you with your porcelain skin
You’re a little girl playing at being a wh*re
See, this love’s even more of a bastard
It’s already eating you and it’s even hungrier
It gambles everything and repents when it hurts
In the city the air is dirty and my heart bursts into flames
This life keeps getting worse and love's a bastard
In the city the air is dirty and my heart bursts into flames
This life keeps getting worse and love's a bastard
At this point I should say, ‘I’m sorry’ but no
I don’t say I’m sorry, I know what you’re capable of
And this story has no happy ending, there’s no time to repent
Love’s a bastard hole, like a piercing
At this point I should say, ‘I’m sorry’ but no
I don’t say I’m sorry, I know what you’re capable of
The air keeps getting dirtier, my heart goes up in flames
This life goes wrong and love’s a bastard
