lyrics
Verse 1
I never promised I would be honest, but I try
I never made out that things would be great and that you’d never cry
But you’re pulling me under, the fire and thunder, in your eyes
You’ve struck me dumb see I am completely, petrified
Chorus
And it feels like nothing
It feels like nothing
It feels like nothing, but
You are the substance that I can’t live without
Verse 2
I think it’s symbolic all this blood and vomit we’re tied up in
Oh, still we speak those, loving echoes and fantasie
But now I’m enraptured, truly captured by the awful truth
I wanna shoot you up, but it’s just never enough, so I’m through
I never promised I would be honest, but I try
I never made out that things would be great and that you’d never cry
But you’re pulling me under, the fire and thunder, in your eyes
You’ve struck me dumb see I am completely, petrified
Chorus
And it feels like nothing
It feels like nothing
It feels like nothing, but
You are the substance that I can’t live without
Verse 2
I think it’s symbolic all this blood and vomit we’re tied up in
Oh, still we speak those, loving echoes and fantasie
But now I’m enraptured, truly captured by the awful truth
I wanna shoot you up, but it’s just never enough, so I’m through
