lyrics

I'm bumming a cigarette off someone I don't know
I can't help but feel like shit
I've lost all composure there's no room for closure
Down in this bottomless pit

Jesus candles are strune on the sidewalk
Turning this long night to day
This doctor has left me with a head full of words
But I have nothing left to say

Sitting and missing him waiting and wishing
For all of this time to pass
All his friends, all his friends
It never ends

Time it stops for nobody now
With exception for all of the dead
This dark hands wants more as it sits at my door
Remembering everything that you said

Jesus candles burn slowly for you
And they can't help but bring me down
All these beautiful flowers all tied in a bow
Just get me right out of this town

All his friends, all his friends
It never ends, it never ends
