Thursday - Jet Black New Year lyrics

rate me

Don't even take a breath

The air is cut with cyanide

In honor of the New Year

The press gives us cause to celebrate

The air raid sirens

Flood barbed wire skylines

With artificial night,

As we sleep to burn the red

From our bloodless eyes.

Tonight we're all time bombs on fault lines

Have we lost everything now?

Walking like each other's ghosts

Around these silent streets

The sedatives tell you everything is alright

Like calendars dying

At New Year's Eve parties

As we kiss hard on the lips

And swear this year

Will be better then the last

Jet Black - the ink that spells your name

Jet Black - The blood that's in your veins

Jet Black

We say, "How long can we take this chance not to celebrate?"

There's music playing

Though we dance to the beat

Of our own black hearts

And draw diagrams

Of suicide on each other's wrists

Then trace them with razorblades

Fire to flames

"Strike Match."

Burn these words from our lips

As 'The Dagger' screams

"Love is dead"

and it's a "newspaper tragedy,"

Have we lost what we love?

Have we said everything?

Does it change anything?

Stare at the clock

Avoid at all costs,

This emptiness.

Have we lost everything now?

Walking like each other's ghosts

Around these silent streets

the sedatives tell you everything is alright

Like calendars dying

at New Year's Eve parties

As we kiss hard on the lips

and swear this year

will be better then the last

Have we lost everything now?

Walking like each other's ghosts

Around these silent streets

The sedatives tell you everything is alright

Like calendars dying

at New Year's Eve parties

So we kiss hard on the lips

and we swear that this year… this year

Ten seconds left until midnight

nine chances to drown ourselves in black hair dye

eight faces turned away from the shock

seven windows and

six of them were locked

five stories falling

forever and ever

three cheers to the mirror

now there are two of us

can we have one last dance?

Jet Black - the ink that spells your name

Jet Black - The blood that's in your veins

Jet Black

We say, "How long can we take this chance not to celebrate?"
