When I was in Vegas you called me a ghost
I loved you completely and feared you the most
I hated talking on the phone
And then we talked until you got home
Like the pacific air rolling in from the coast
Sometimes you bite until you break the skin with blood dripping
We flowed in abstract ways but with identical sins
The sweet, the bitter ran in sync
We doused our fires with gasoline
I wish that you belonged with me
I left you asleep at 4am
I drank with my anger, my best friend
Then in the darkrooms in Berlin
Said we'd try to never let our demons win
But we pled till we cried time after time, after time
Sometimes you bite until you break the skin
With blood dripping
Painted me in dark pastels and left me so chagrined
I couldn't be your remedy
We doused our fires with gasoline
I wish that you belonged with me
