What You Wanted - Lyrics by Verve Pipe


Lyrics
through the remains i've been sortingseeking refuge underneath flourescent skiesan apocolypse of pityi know she is safe and building her disguisebracing for the scavengerswho reign upon my humble domainfills my face with angerinto permanent distortioni'm ugly getting over youit's what you wantedyou're gorgeous running out of meit's what you wantedi'm ugly getting over youi know that you're more beautiful noweveryday's survival lessonbrings another scarring lesson to sustaini anticipate a lesionit's a chemical reaction to my pain7,000 weathered faceshide my beautiful and buried smilesleeping seems to be the greatest medicationi'm switching channels, silly sitcoms are a metronomeone beat about a half an houri will shun the radiobecause i hear my life in every songbrushing off the bottlei become a connoiseur for a nightrake the dead grass from the bitter greenthat's growing wild
