lyrics

Nights of red wine and white lines 
The dream of life decays to death
 Still you're telling me its all fine 
As you choke on your last breath

  From the shell of the night 
To the downtown dawn
 I smile and reminisce
Over all I have done wrong  

Satin and lace can't hide your face
 Looking like your one more tear away 
From another fall from grace
 Oh how they feel exactly the same  

From the shell of the night 
To the downtown dawn
 I smile and reminisce
 Over all I have done wrong

  Singing in such pretty lies, held in vague disguise
 Is much more obvious than you dare realize

For me its been a perfect crime
 Made it out of everything still alive
 Like the stars are held in design
The silk'n'scars are signs to memorize

 From the shell of the night 
To the downtown dawn
 I smile and reminisce
 Over all I have done wrong  
 From the shell of the night 
To the downtown dawn
 I smile and reminisce
 Over all I have done wrong  
But what remains at sunrise
 Is left for the flies
 Which swarm the dark circles 
That haunt your eyes
 Which swarm the dark circles 
That haunt your eyes
 Which swarm the dark circles 
That haunt your eyes
