Facing complications, it's true
Lost in contemplation over you
Look at us living our lives on a wire
I think any day I'll throw it all away
Asking for forgiveness, you're stepping in the fire
Guilty as accused
Don't you just feel used
Chasing intimations of you
You
Losing a faded memory
Open up your eyes and take a look around you
We're going down, down, down, down, down
In complications
I think I just give up this time
I got nothing left to lose
I'm saving my escape
For when there's nothing left to choose
Drowning in your ruby lipstick cigarillo blues
There's more to our relation, but I know that it's no use
Because we're losing a faded memory
Open up your eyes and take a look around you
We're going down, down, down, down, down
And the memories fade
But I remember your kiss
That's when I sit and reminisce
Passion to be attached
Thought that we never might slip
Lost in the moonlight mist, I gotta resist it
Knife in my heart, won't twist it
Goddamn persistence, it's complicated
We was a precious gem that we jaded
Listen for the requiem, I gotta place it
Faithfully represent all of the faces, that's basic
When I caught a whiff of your love, I tried to taste it
But there was an aftertaste secretly baked in
Never thought I'd have to wait to be a castaway
This was a master play, I gotta say it's
Something that I didn't expect
Something that I'll probably regret
It's complications
Facing complications, it's true
True
