3000 Nights

Musicians need writers and writers need musicians.

Should have placed all my chips on your garbage lines

I would have warned you sooner

But you wouldn’t have believed in it

You’re a disaster

Is a sure bet

A gamble is the only fix you upset.

She always lies 

And he always hides

Their friends and enemies

Are all the same kind

All together to keep 

My love locked inside

(Pre-Chorus)

Away from your eyes

Look around as you watch

The world dies.

(Chorus)

The more you toy my strings

The more twisted it all gets

It has been over 3000 nights

And you haven’t realized

You fucked up yet.

Flip it all around

Take the time to see

That up is down

So keep it going out the in

And in the out

Every good thing now

Is a once upon a time.

Your bright ideas are dim

Compared to a single candles lights

Through my eyes 

I tried and died

For you to see bright

I feel like my truth

Is a waste of breath.

(Pre-Chorus)

Away from your eyes

Look around as you watch

The world dies.

(Chorus)

The more you toy my strings

The more twisted it all gets

It has been over 3000 nights

And you haven’t realized

You fucked up yet.

The saddest thing

Is that this isn’t a song

You would sing for very long

And what hurts more than that

Is it isn’t our sing-a-long

Just a sad lowly song

From my heart

Cared by no one.

So stop looking in the mirror

There’s nothing looking back

Everything in a once upon a time

At midnight

So stop looking back

It is all just regret.

(Pre-Chorus)

Away from your eyes

Look around as you watch

The world dies.

(Chorus)

The more you toy my strings

The more twisted it all gets

It has been over 3000 nights

And you haven’t realized

You fucked up yet.

(Bridge)

The only thing you fix

Is a gamble and a bet

And she’s not the only one who lies

And he’s not the only one who hides

They have many reflections

Breaking glass

Looking back from all sides.

Into blind third eyes.

(Pre-Chorus)

Away from your eyes

Look around as you watch

The world dies.

(Chorus)

The more you toy my strings

The more twisted it all gets

It has been over 3000 nights

And you haven’t realized

You fucked up yet.

The more you toy with my strings

The more twisted it all gets

It has been a wasted 3000 nights

Oh Baby

And you haven’t realized

You’re caught up in a distracted mind

Your thoughts are

How fucked up it all really gets.

Watch as the world dies.

I’m not blind 

I just can’t see through 

All the tears inside.

Ahhhhhhhh!
