Cassette Tapes - L.I.F.T

The bottom’s gonna bury us everyday

Take my heart and give away

All my notes and cassette tapes

I don’t care about them anyway

Love is so painful

But when I’m lonely, there’s silence

And when there is silence inside of my head

I start to feel violent

And when there is violence

The demons in my mind will triumph

Till my oceanside angel’s

Left with bruises and crying

I reside in the comfort

Of all my physical pain

Run away 'til legs buckle

Validate I’m insane

Self-sedation through insomnia

To hide what is wrong with ya

Suffocate on desperate words

Perform to a crowd 'cause I need to be heard

Through stereos, cassette tapes

Car radios and highways

You’re the only one I need

You’re the only one…

The bottom’s gonna bury us everyday

Take my heart and give away

All my notes and cassette tapes

'Cause I don’t care about them anyway

No black and white picture

Can’t hide the true colors I have inside

Sifting through the pages

A coloring book with empty lines

You were the complexion

That filled the void inside my eyes

Red were all the flowers

That had my blood so intertwined

She’s the only one that made me feel something

When recently, everything’s numb

And when I was gone, I’d write her songs

To prove to myself that I can feel love

How could I kill the person that’s hurting her

When I’m the only one?

How can I cure the cancer that’s killing her

When the cost is my own blood?

So I’ll invoke screams 'til there’s quiet

Lose my head in the riot

Terrorizing, victimizing

Crash this plane 'cause I’m the pilot

Record these songs line by line

To control my own fate

And when she forgets that she’s mine

Put them on replay

Through stereos, cassette tapes

Car radios and highways

You’re the only one I need

You’re the only one…

The bottom’s gonna bury us everyday

Take my heart and give away

All my notes and cassette tapes

'Cause I don’t care about them anyway

Through stereos, cassette tapes

Car radios and highways

You’re the only one I need

You’re the only one I need

Across the world, on jet planes

On the road, and big stages

You’re the only one I need

You’re the only one I need

Across the world, on jet planes

On the road, and big stages

You’re the only one I need

You’re the only one I need

The bottom’s gonna bury us everyday

Take my heart and give away

All my notes and cassette tapes

'Cause I don’t care about them anyway
