Pale Criminal - Loved To Death

I'm just trying to tell you I'm not myself tonight
When you reach out I'm pulling away
My colors fade to gray

The feeling is fleeting
Nonverbal, demeaning
And I'm your canvas
Terse words are revealing
They cut through my being
The tone's backhanded

Everything's horrible all the time
Pain is divisible by basic rhymes
You'll dig your ditch, never content
Til' you fill the hole with my blood and sweat

I'm just trying to tell you I'm not myself tonight
When you reach out I'm pulling away
My colors fade to gray
I keep myself pale when you're blood red
Cause your lingering lips are always wet
You see the devil in the details but I'm broad in your head
So paint me with projections and love me to death

The fixture is bleeding
Framed picture's deceiving
The ending's joyful
Your hurt is expressive
The need so excessive
Forever loyal

Everything's horrible from all sides
When the weight of the world sits on your mind
You'll grieve the man I never was
'Cause we're all very wrong about so much

I'm just trying to tell you I'm not myself tonight
When you reach out I'm pulling away
My colors fade to gray
I keep myself pale when you're blood red
Cause your lingering lips are always wet
You see the devil in the details but I'm broad in your head
So paint me with projections and love me to death
