Burning Down the Nicotine Armoire Songtext
von Dance Gavin Dance

(Until we wind up dead)
(Checking your pulse)

(We′d wait across the street)
(Under our tree)
(Outside the front door)

(In autumn's blind embrace)
(But you wouldn′t let her anyway and we run)


(And we framed these moments)
Today your dream is dead
('Til one remaining cold calculated thought)
And when you wake it won't be there
(And we framed these moments)
Today your dream is dead
(′Til one remaining cold calculated thought)
And sew that smile up with threads
(And we framed these moments)
Embrace this hope
(′Til one remaining cold calculated thought)
And let it flow
You failed it

Too shy to know your worth
Hurt from insensitive behavior
You're scared of what this really is
And where this might lead us next

And don′t let me go, well I feel it
And don't let me go

(It grabbed us by the throat)
(It grabbed us by the throat)
That′s how I feel about love
(It grabbed us by the throat)
(It grabbed us by the throat)
That it's not worth it
(It grabbed us by the throat)
(it grabbed us by the throat)
That′s how I feel about love
(It grabbed us by the throat)
(It grabbed us by the throat)
(Your license)


And in failure, dreams fall
Pushing nightmares over pavement
Walking these streets like a victim
Writing death threats in the wet cement

You'll say that I will lie
And let me win this life
You won't regret my love

(It grabbed us by the throat)
(It grabbed us by the throat)
That′s how I feel about love
(It grabbed us by the throat)
(It grabbed us by the throat)
That it′s not worth it
(It grabbed us by the throat)
(it grabbed us by the throat)
That's how I feel about love
(It grabbed us by the throat)
(It grabbed us by the throat)
(Your license)

My goal was to
Make you happy at your best
You′d noticed all of this meaningless
I destroy you, even through
The only things that I have left for your
Condescending eyes looking at each other's
White lies my heart ache is useless

So quickly we′ll address the shadows running from light
It'll take this breath
Denying what is left of us
(Crying, crying under pressure)
(Crying, pressure, crying)
Embrace this gold
(Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure)
And if you could just wake up tonight
I′d be with you under this sky
With you tonight
