Before we ignite this
I brace for the fallout

Too close to the ceiling
I wait for the comedown

The spell's gonna break if I start to believe it

You shouldn't have sent that if you didn't mean it

Looked for distractions
I found none at college

Just rich kids from Jersey and part-time astrologists

And there's blood in the water

And you shouldn't have said that

And think I'd pretend not to hear

Ooh, baby, there's blood in the water

I'll wait 'til the faucet runs clear

F#F#
It looms with a promise, this cloud that I'm under
C#C#
If quick is the lightning, then sure is the thunder
G# minorG#m
The silence between, beating slow like a death march
BB
But just for a second, it's light 'til it gets dark
*= single strum
