Destroy Beautiful Things

When, when love ends
I am lost, but composed
I've found, I've found something else
hand held by fear
dealt death without cause

Draw, draw on the mask
no one knows us, no one sees
behind painted veils
and proud battle scars
I hide that i'm lonely
feel I could float, drowning in apathy

When you see me
I start to run
you look away and I reappear
I don't understand the games that we play
what makes us this way?
maybe it's wisdom, maybe it's fear

I am my only friend
my emotions always get the best of me
I destroy, destroy beautiful things
so paint me
to watch it dissolve

In my head
destructive thoughts
imagine the end
like tulips are grown to be blind

When you see me
I start to turn
I've been longing for so long
that I'm used to this
numbed by the loss
this room is empty by I call it home
