Eloise

Laid out, puking in the back of a fancy bar

You and your friend in the front booth

Laughing at my sweet naïveté

And its awkward gravity

Three years, I saw the decimation of the world in you

Messiah complex lead a fickle flu

To see it's antidote and end in you

But now I'm gonna leave you

Eloise, Eloise

You never meant that much to me

Baby, please let go, my Eloise

Let it bleed, let it freeze and fall apart in front of me

My Eloise, you took the world from me

So beautiful, the ugliness within you

Last of three, baby of the family

Spoiled to bits and rotten to the shining core you

And mad with power I've seen corrupt

The leaders of a nation

Stricken with the sickly imitation of a love

The Lord would never stitch

You've got my cake. It's time to dine on the rich

Eloise, Eloise

You never meant that much to me

Baby, please let go, my Eloise

Let it bleed, let it freeze and fall apart in front of me

My Eloise

Band-Aid. Just a bloody Band-Aid.

That's all I ever really was to you, Eloise:

(You can't take when you gave it away.)

Just a solider with a syndrome and dreams of children's screams

You molded. You shaped like a god who loathes to create

(You can't take when you never want to give it away.)

Band-Aids. Two infected Band-Aids.

That's all we were to each other, Eloise

(You can't take it away.)

Just a couple of stupid kids throwing a ball back and forth

Just to see who drops it first

(So now I feel like a child again.)

Well, think fast, killer.

Eloise, Eloise

You never meant that much to me

Baby, please let go, my Eloise

Let it bleed, let it freeze and fall apart in front of me

My Eloise, you took the world from me

You took the world from me

You took the world from me

You took the world from me

You took the world from me
