Lost in a highway daze Speeding to the soundtrack of our middle-aged malaise High on loose packed cigarettes and petroleum fumes The smell of sour whiskey makes a deadly perfume And I might just let you take a whiff of it anyway Yeah, I think that poison just might be here to stay It was a midnight masquerade We were unmasked by the moonlight and I didn't even hesitate Chose the purest of souls, drenched in wedding white Selfishly stole it for my devilish delights And when the sun came up these sins were greeted with gratitude Yeah, you left me all this time and I was starving for gratitude So these are no circumstances to demand second chances You were laughing while our love bled out You made a hole in my rib cage Put my heart on the front page Just to watch the vultures tear it out Oh and you let those vultures tear it out And you never had a second doubt They say that love will set you free But then why does that devil keep dangling those keys in front of me Steel walls echo with those 22 blanks Bouncing through my cell just like that cold thanks You shoot to kill all my empty apologies Oh f*ck this sea of empty apologies And now I'm just like you A cup of revenge capped with spite makes dangerous brew So I'll let you run your mouth again and try to gaslight Those crocodile tears will die by my snakebite Your phantom of an ego could never handle the truth Oh you created a monster, but at least I could tell you the truth That these are no circumstances to demand second chances You were laughing while our love bled out You made a hole in my rib cage Put my heart on the front page Just to watch the vultures tear it out Oh and you let those vultures tear it out And you never had a second doubt We're dying and I know you see Oh I was blind but you made me see I'm done being your rock so your could grind that axe I'm done being a lab rat for your traps Now I'm the one testing a new way of getting through And for once the sad soul who will be the control is you Oh these are no circumstances to demand second chances Now who's laughing while they make their way out You made a hole in my rib cage My heart strengthened with old age And I wouldn't let you tear it out Oh I wouldn't let you tear it out Yeah I'm laughing as you figure it out They say that love will set you free So good luck trying to make your escape without me
