lyrics

I’m waiting for the guy with the butterfly knife
And the seedy eyes
That avoid me when we meet
And he always hides his teeth
I’ll never leave again if he needs me as a friend
Because it hurts to land
And my time’s for the perfect crime
When he truly needs my limbs

We’re pacing back and forth on a chalk outline
Whether or not we have the time
Because a saint is still a saint even in the daylight
We’ll scatter all the bones to alleviate the sight
Because the smell of night
Won’t leave until I scream in the lowly lights

I’m waiting for the saint with the scar above her leg
And her purse is made
Out of duct tape because
She can’t afford spray paint
She’ll sing and drink along to our catchy swan song
Until I hate god long
Enough to stay inside
And find our cavalry was wrong

We’re pacing back and forth on a chalk outline
Whether or not we have the time
Because a saint is still a saint even in the daylight
My nightlife captures me in a crass dichotomy
Because the sentencing
Won’t affect the deepest woes of me

We’re pacing back and forth on a chalk outline
Whether or not we have the time
Because a saint is still a saint even in the daylight
I’m waiting for the guy with the butterfly knife
