Hanging By A Thread Lyrics by Rest, Repose

Rest, Repose

2017

I need you like poison in my veins, a filthy vice
And I need you like the sense to carve my heart right out of my chest and never think twice
But you’re nowhere to be found
You string me along
And you may think your heart is so profound
But you leave messes of their bodies through this town
I’ve been hanging by a thread to keep you warm
Burned by fire of a woman scorned
Light the fuse and run like hell
I bid you all fine farewell
'Cause I don’t wanna hang around to see it all burn down
You’re the estuary of my dreams
Quenching thirst as I taste you on my knees
But I know if I drink too much I’ll drown
Choke on your lies, spill my guts and leave this this town
I’m drowning in your eyes
My burning lungs are suffocating at the thought of you
I idolize and fantasize being inside of you
Baptized by fire, I will burn no more
I’ve been hanging by a thread to keep you warm
Burned by fire of a woman scorned
Light the fuse and run like hell
I bid you all a fine farewell
'Cause I don’t wanna hang around to see it all burn down
I need you in my life
I need you in my life
I need you in my life
I need you in my life
