I wanted a reason to love you
I carved out a list of a million
But by then
You changed your skin
Like some kind of crafty chameleon

I spotten a halo above you
Tried to capture it inside a picture
But by then
You traded it in
For a thousand bottles of liquor

When I'm refusing to agree that the sky looks rotten
That's when you realize how blind I've gotten
My ability to tell that I'm broke must be broken
Because I still wanna dance with the words you've spoken

I followed you into a tunnel
I figured that you'd by my lantern
You were all out of sparks
And afraid of the dark
We acted like drunk ballet dancers

Put your words into a funnel
And swallowed them all down at once
Wiped my mouth
Hitchhiked south
And armed myself for the hunt
