lyrics

That's pretty ugly of you
It's pretty ugly of me too
I said 'the sky is falling down, there's nothing we can do'
That's pretty ugly of me
That's pretty ugly of you too
You set my world on fire, yeah you doused it in the truth
Truth burns to soot everything I knew
And puts me in my place right underneath you on the pedestal
Damn these streets of gold, I'd rather have your soul

I don't wanna feel better, I just wanna feel nothing
Try to think of who to blame, 10 fingers aimed at me
Staring at the sea, in a cloud of disbelief
Abyss in front of me till breath and shadows flee

I don't wanna talk it out, I just wanna turn it off
I don't believe anyone's "found", 6 billion people lost
Staring at the cross, I'm not the salt
It's all my fault, you're only a part
