Astoria Lyrics

Astoria, I'm warning ya
Not ready yet, not for ya
Don't wanna know my darkest lows
My blackest pitch, murder of crows
Feels far from home, close to the veil
Goodbye mothers fairy tale
Never after will suffice
When star crossed lovers take their life
Now we begin, a harlequin
Kaleidoscope, in spite of when
Top of the world, to lowest worth
From blackest pearl, to slow rebirth
Don't remind me what the price is
When left to my own devices
'cause I'll find out in all due time
What happens to never say die
Oh, yeah, I'll say
Whatever doesn't make me stronger kills me
But it's gonna be a long year
'Til the hospital can find hope in me
(Tell me I survive)
Do I survive you, Astoria?
(Tell me I survive)
Do I survive you, Astoria?
You know everything happens in
Happens in threes
F# (I used B/F# on piano)
A fevered blur
Through names obscured
And speeches slur
Whats another bridge burnt?
I'm on my own
You came alone
All dressed up in bad news
I know you've been hurt too
This would be the wrong move
Maybe we should leave soon?
You can lay with me while you think of him
Drown our sorrows deep in each others skin
I'll touch your face while I think of her
E (D/E -piano)
I will raise my lips to the way we were
Bite my neck while you say his name
I will scratch your back to forget her face
Our regrets taste sweet through a soft liqueur
We can raise our lips to the way we were
On a good day I'm the bad news
For the wrong girl with the right wounds
On a good day I'm the bad news
For the wrong girl with the right wounds
Hey, ever just say f**k it
Maybe I'll drink this all away in buckets
Oh hey, might as well say f**k it
I wanna hurt myself until I love it
I should've known you're not alone when you take somebody home andd
The little deaths are a little less
Even if just for a moment
Hey, lets all say f**k it
I'm gonna make my mother so proud of it
Yeah______________
Hope fades away in Astoria
I'll say
Whatever doesn't make me stronger kills me
But it's gonna be a long year
'Til the hospital might find hope in me
Astoria
Astoria
Astoria
Let the melody save me, Astoria
Let the melody save me, Astoria
The quid pro quos that will compose
From esoteric to common pros
