You're a Saint / I'm a Nonbeliever

I know you think you’ll get tired of me
But I’ll always be the ink in your diary
Or under your skin when my lyrics break in like a needle
I’m a permanent fixture you’ll never get rid of
I had that nightmare again where I smother you to death
In a hospital bed, then drown in my own sweat
I’m not responsible for what goes on in my head
And certainly not in yours
It doesn’t have to be this way
But go ahead and turn the lights down, baby
I never claimed to be a saint
So just keep your voice low
The Bible in my closet never offered any guidance
I’m only trying to bide time
Until we shake the pain away
And laugh about our self-destruction
It doesn’t have to be this way
But go ahead and turn the lights down, baby
I never claimed to be a saint
So just keep your voice low
And we’ll try to fill a void
That we otherwise would never ourselves
Avoiding every chance we get to better ourselves
Do the people we avoid
Become reasons just to keep to ourselves
Like secrets we have hidden?
So just keep your distance
Because everything about this is wrong
And it’s all gonna end tonight, and
And it’s all gonna end tonight, and
Everything about this is wrong
And it’s all gonna end tonight
And I hope to God that it ends tonight, and
Do the people we avoid (avoid us too?)
Do the people we avoid (avoid us too?)
Do the people we avoid (avoid us too?)
Do the people we avoid (avoid us too?)
Do the people we avoid (avoid us too?)
I guess I wished that I was your monster
Do the people we avoid (avoid us too?)
Do the people we avoid (avoid us too?)
Do the people we avoid (avoid us too?)
I guess I’ve just always been your ghost
Do the people we avoid (avoid us too?)
Do the people we avoid (avoid us too?)
Do the people we avoid (avoid us too?)
And it’s all gonna end tonight, and
And it’s all gonna end
Do the people we avoid avoid us too?
