lyrics
I'm tearing up my room in search of a picture of a girl I will learn to love in my future, she says "it will only tear you to pieces, and when the moon settles you'll dream too big." I swear that one day I'll find my "Maria", and when those stars pick me up, you know I'd leave her in America. And I'll find my place somewhere I shouldn't have been, and I'll turn from happy to that person I've become. They said the Texas sky would hold some nights, and eventually we would all die. But that's alright, I gotta die sometime, till then I'll be just fine.
I told myself there was no other women, and that when Alexandria decided to get herself out from this hole. I'll be there with a rope, ya know, holding and puling up. She said "You need to give up the past and look away from these eyes." The dock swayed and she portrayed the person I needed "I feel in love" then "Virginia" was born in a form of a lost soul. But, I still saw that angel that would become my hearts devil. No, love isn't simple, it's pretty fucking evil. They said the Texas sky would hold some nights, and eventually we would all die. But that's alright, I gotta die sometime, till then I'll be just fine.
She took my cigarettes and I explain that my heart laid with infinity and death will find it's way on to me and I'll stare straight into eternity. And I won't look towards this worn down city in search for that higher being, because when death finds me I'll leave her in the ruins of everything. Yes, when death finds me I'll leave her in the ruins of our America.
