Painting Flowers...
Hi I'm Nick.

"Stay. Don't Leave. The stars can't wait for your ascent."

I'm half of a dollar bill. A kid with a weak hands but strong shoulders and a foolish dream. My team lives the dream. I've been in love and it's warmer than sun. It's cold as hell sometimes too. I've never feared dying because I don't believe it's anything I'll ever have to go through. If God ever called in sick I still think we'd be ok. It's us versus all the others a lot. Down here we're all vampyr kids and everything's at stake.

Could anyone please, just tell me
How could giving your all turn out so wrong?
Fairy-tales seem too optimistic
If there’s a silver lining here then I missed it
Paint it black
I’m taking back
All the “let me count the ways” that I listed

I probably won’t be the last
Standing by the road while you speed past
But baby I’ll be the first to tell
This isn’t love, it’s hell
And I guess that I’m better…

So please just take me home
After all of this I’d rather be alone
I can’t grow among the seeds we’ve sewn
I should have know
This light burns brighter when I’m on my own
I’m not just another fucked up kid
Just want you to hold me the way you did
But you don’t
And you won’t
That’s why I know
The light burns brighter on my own
On my own
On my own
On my own

You never compromise,
and you seemed just fine
Like giving up was a hobby of mine. 
Some nights you’d dress up as my demons
It’s not right, you gave me no reason
To believe I could light this way with my heart
I shoulda listened to the song cuz “love will tear us apart”

So please just take me home
After all of this I’d rather be alone
I can’t grow among the seeds we’ve sewn
I should have know
This light burns brighter when I’m on my own
I’m not just another fucked up kid
Just want you to hold me the way you did
But you don’t
And you won’t
That’s why I know
The light burns brighter on my own
On my own
On my own
On my own

I guess my head has been fucked to death
But I swore to give every last breath
Just to see
Your happy ending, ending with me forever
When word about you gets around
And the bodies pile up in a mound
God the sound
Will make you wish you’d drowned
In the sea we sailed together 

I probably won’t be the last
Standing by the road while you speed past
But baby I’ll be the first to tell
This isn’t love, it’s hell
And I guess that I’m better…

So please just take me home
After all of this I’d rather be alone
I can’t grow among the seeds we’ve sewn
I should have know
This light burns brighter when I’m on my own
I’m not just another fucked up kid
Just want you to hold me the way you did
But you don’t
And you won’t
That’s why I know
The light burns brighter on my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
