AU CONTRAIRE

lyrics

I used to think that I was important to the cause
Silhouettes and paranoia distract from what is over

Ponies only know one trick
I just don't know how to quit you

I can't see straight no more
I collapse by the door
I think I've run too far
My blood soaks into the floor
I can't see straight no more
I collapse by the door
I think I've run too far
Run too far

I used to think that I was in the center of it all
And now when I pick up the phone
I realize nobody calls

Ponies only know one trick
I just don't know how to quit you

I can't see straight no more
I collapse by the door
I think I've run too far
My blood soaks into the floor
I can't see straight no more
I collapse by the door
I think I've run too far
My blood soaks into the floor

I can hardly fake the smile
I struggle to play my only wildcard
I've run too far
I can hardly shake the feeling
I'll wind up on my own once this falls apart
It's all too much

I can't see straight no more
I collapse by the door
I think I've run too far
My blood soaks into the floor
I can't see straight no more
I collapse by the door
I think I've run too far
My blood soaks into the floor
I can't see straight no more (I've had it coming, this I know)
I collapse by the door (The smile, it was all for show)
I think I've run too far (My crooked teeth can barely strike the pose)
My blood soaks into the floor
I can't see straight no more (I shake and shiver in the cold)
I collapse by the door (The gallery is where I fold)
I think I've run too far (They walk by as I soon fall comatose)
My blood soaks into the floor
I can't see straight no more (I've had it coming, this I know)
I collapse by the door (The smile, it was all for show)
I think I've run too far (My crooked teeth can barely strike the pose)
My blood soaks into the floor
I can't see straight no more (I shake and shiver in the cold)
I collapse by the door (The gallery is where I fold)
I think I've run too far (They walk by as I soon fall comatose)
My blood soaks into the floor
I can't see straight no more (I've had it coming, this I know)
I collapse by the door (The smile, it was all for show)
I think I've run too far (My crooked teeth can barely strike the pose)
My blood soaks into the floor
I can't see straight no more (I shake and shiver in the cold)
I collapse by the door (The gallery is where I fold)
I think I've run too far (They walk by as I soon fall comatose)
My blood soaks into the floor
