lyrics

I was there tears in my eyes
You gave me a line about how boys don't cry
Well I guess that's not what I am
Well I guess I’m something else entirely

So I became a monster on the inside
something broken and cruel
Started setting everything on fire
There wouldn’t be anything left in this town


It's always the worst in the summers
After all I am my mother's son
Angry and irrational and so fucking dumb
That's what my grandfather passed down to us

So if you want to be with me now
You need to know something else
I'll never take up that shape again
Not for you, not for anyone

But I'll gladly become a pillar of salt
if it means I can sleep again at night
So when you see me look back at what i caused
I'm sure you'll start to smile

When everything turns to ashes
Under the hot California sun
I'll feel thankful for everyone i loved
None of it was mistake, even the mistakes
