Jet Black New Year Lyrics - Kill The House Lights - Thursday

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 

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

There's music playing 

But 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 Daggar' 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. 

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 

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