I'm cooling it down, not saying it's over
But fooling around, never brought anyone closer
I'm calling it in, before it begins, before it's too late to go
The weight of the world has gotten me so low

Going away for a while, I'm hoping things will get better
And I'll be coming back home, to don the leather
Rebuilding yourself might not recreate what you thought you would be
My skin is the same, blackened and maimed, free
I ain't the same, but I ain't afraid of me

You're always there for me, black and cold lovely
Here's a drink for old times, calloused
And waiting to die

They'll never kill me completely, I'll never fade away
My skin completes me, and brings me back to the days
Of smoke on my breath, meaningless sex and long nights
Our minds they roam, the sky never shows, no sunlight
No matter how wrong, you make me feel right

You're always there for me, black and cold lovely
Here's a drink for old times, calloused

Time apart, made lovers out of us
Take it to heart, the darkest days bring brighter suns
Collide into, your darkest shade of blue
After all
You're always there for me, black and cold lovely
Here's a drink for old times, calloused
And waiting to die
