Admiral Twin But I`m Dying Lyrics

But I`m Dying Lyrics

I'm tired of living in your constellation 

Most of your friends, they still don't know my name 

I've never been good at orbiting 

And everything you say is Greek to me 

So why don't I blow the lid off this can of worms? 

I think there might be a prize at the bottom 

It's a Cracker Jack deal 

I'll be free and you'll be rid of me 

Everything's gold on the surface of the moment 

But I take my coffee much blacker than you ever will 

And when my day comes crashing down 

At 3 a.m., without a sound 

You're fast asleep...but I'm dying. 

  

You're making me laugh 

But I don't want to laugh anymore 

People laugh when they don't really know the score 

And laughing is just one step away 

From crying...and I don't want to do that today 

A bit of a piece of a fragment of you is enough 

I can file it away with the last six months 

In a tattered envelope 

Stuck away in a book that I never read 

Everything's gold on the surface of the moment 

But I take my coffee much blacker than you ever will 

And when my day comes crashing down 

At 3 a.m., without a sound 

You're fast asleep...but I'm dying. 

  

I had a dream last night 'bout an angel 

She was laughing at me, but so sweetly 

Then she kicked me out the door 

I fell out of bed and now my ribs are sore 

Everything's gold on the surface of the moment 

But I take my coffee much blacker than you ever will 

And when my day comes crashing down 

At 3 a.m., without a sound 

You're fast asleep, but I'm dying 

You're doing fine, but I'm dying.
