Grime Scene Lyrics

To a room full of emptiness,

He stares at the phone

Waiting for that late night text

So he doesn't spend the night alone

Dancing with the devil just a little

With his pedal to the metal at a hundred and five

Wait a minute won't you let it hit the limit

Is he dead or alive

All the same old shit he's done before

Burning bridges to stay warm

What he wants, what he never,

Just never show the same

Just throw it all away

He won't take his own advice

Just a victim of his own device

He's a lit cigarette near kerosene

In the middle of the night, it's a grime scene

To the mirror on her bedroom wall,

She puts her makeup on,

No plans, she's alone tonight,

Just Twitter and a bottle of wine

Her makeup starts to smear just a little

And it stains at the top of her all-white dress

Crying alone doesn't help

So she goes out for the night

All the same old shit she's done before

A prior image to restore

What she wants, what she needs,

Just never show the same

Just throw it all away

She won't take her own advice

Just a victim of her own device

She's a lit cigarette near kerosene

In the middle of the night, it's a grime scene

They met each other at a party where they shouldn't be

Sitting outside of reality

Red flags they choose to oversee

They spent whole night together till they fell asleep

Only kept on earth by gravity

Trying to soar up high like an apogee

Problem after problem they gave up on the fantasy

She scratched his car with her house key

He sent their tapes to her family

All the same old shit they've done before

Just from being insecure

What they want, what they need

Just never show the same

Just throw it all away

They won't take their own advice

Just a victims of their own device

They're lit cigarettes near kerosene

In the middle of the night, it's a grime scene
