Days Before You Came

Days before you came

Freezing cold and empty

Towns that change their name

And a horn of plenty


Days before you came

Counting breaths inside me

Even crack cocaine

Couldn't start to hide me

Won't you join me now

Baby's looking torn and frayed

Join the masquerade

Join the masquerade

Won't you join me now

Baby's looking to get laid

Join the masquerade

Join the masquerade


Days before you came

It always seemed enticing

to be naked and profane

there is no denying

Days before you came

Thunderbolts and lightning

Each day a brand new vein

Each tourniquet colliding

Didn't want you anyway


Won't you join me now

Baby's looking torn and frayed

Join the masquerade

Join the masquerade

Won't you join me now

Baby's looking to get laid

Join the masquerade

Join the masquerade

Days before you came
