I used to dream of falling every night
I felt so free as I dove from the sky
I'd wake up as I was about to see
My brains splattered all over the street
I could hear the people cry
When I felt the butterflies as I neared the lights below
I should have known
A little later on it dawned on me
You came along with sharpened claws and teeth
You ripped me open and my guts fell out
And ever since I've known of lust and doubt
Through the wall I'd hear you cry
And with how you spoke of how all things must die alone
I should have known
And I ran in a rout, heart beat harder
'Til my legs gave out and my lungs faltered
The vultures of regret
Breathing down my neck
And sorrow overwhelmed me like a flood
As I tasted blood
Forgive me for being trite
All drown and wilter fast or slow
Hearts pound and quiver 'til they don't
But with how you spoke of how all things must die alone
I should have known
