Since were feeling so anesthetized In our comfort zone Reminds me of the second time That I followed you home We're running out of alibi's On the second of may Reminds me of the summertime On this winters day See you at the bitter end See you at the bitter end Every step we took that synchronized Every broken bone Reminds me of the second time That I followed you home You showered me with lullabies Had you walking away Reminds me that its killing time On this fateful day See you at the bitter end See you at the bitter end From the time we intercepted Feels a lot like suicide Slow and sad, getting sadder Arise a sitting mine See you at the bitter end I love to see you run around And i can see you now Running to me Arms wide out See you at the bitter end Reach inside Come on just gotta reach inside Heard your cry Six months time Six months time Prepare the end See you at the bitter end
