sweet vandals wrongly entered this temple I have built
I'd end my suffering
But I love my precious guilt
My music comes from depression
And I've always held her near
It's my biggest inspiration
A comforting and friendly ear

I found your empty cigarettes
And I wished I could be cold and hard as stone
Cause when I cry I can taste your smoky breath
And I cry alone, I cry alone

And do you think I'll taste the same
I don't think so
