Lyrics

I've never seen your breath before
but i'm disgusted by the thought of waiting anymore
if i look into your eyes
will you notice me or notice it fade into this accident

Chorus:
i dont want to find
the big dumb rocket on your mind
and i dont want to find
that its mostly you and mostly me, and a tired gun thats not empty

I've never been this sad before
but i'm disgusted by my fingertips
and what they've done
if i look into your eyes, 
if it must be be true you must believe i've never held such violent things

Chorus

I've never talked to god before, tonight 
But, I'm disgusted by

Chorus
