The Blowtorch Is Applied to the Sugar

Lyrics

[Intro: Kurt Travis & Cory Lockwood] Let me down easy There's no reason to tease me If you don't need me, please let me go (Time is dancing on my chest And it's casting stones, it's casting parts Each one of them antagonist) Playing with my dreams? Not anymore (And I'm trying to feed the wasp inside my mouth, it's dying I'm not sure that it wants to live Oh well) [Verse 1: Kurt Travis, Kurt Travis & Cory Lockwood] Hail the insane and deranged It wasn't my embrace, it's yours Now I'm trying to walk the straightest line Now it's time I wanted you forever and ever Now it's never again, never I wanted you forever and ever And now it's never again, never [Verse 2: Cory Lockwood] Oh, and how your hands used to shake Tremble and threaten to break If they weren't encased in mine Telling you that it'll be just fine I should've had it forever and ever Now it's never again, never I should've had it forever and ever Now it's never again, never [Verse 3: Kurt Travis] I would have thrown it all away for you And actually did, it's all around me But I can't pick it up 'Cause I gave you all what was left of my strength (Of my strength, of my strength, of my strength) [Bridge: Cory Lockwood & Kurt Travis] Love's a many-splendored thing, an often-vendored thing If love was just a movie about war, it's the surrender scene You think you've got it figured out? I didn't say that, I've got doubts I said I've lost my faith in love There's still a way to find it How? I might've cared for it at first But now I've buried it, my thirst is met in bars And not the fake embrace of needy arms That isn't true; I've seen your heart You didn't see that it was charred? There was a fire, that's a start The fire's gone, and now it's dark [Outro: Cory Lockwood] Please turn on the lights Please turn on the lights I think I'm still fucked up Time didn't heal me, oh God I think I'm still fucked up Time didn't heal me, oh I think I'm still fucked up Time didn't heal me, oh God You were a fever dream But you never broke or went away
