This Time Imperfect Lyrics

[Verse 1: Davey Havok]
I cannot leave here, I cannot stay
Forever haunted, more than afraid
Asphyxiate on words I would say
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue

[Hook: Davey Havok]
There are no flowers, no, not this time
There'll be no angels gracing the lines
Just these stark words, I find
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak
Just how much this hurts me

[Verse 2: Davey Havok]
I cannot stay here, I cannot leave
Just like all I loved, I'm make believe
Imagine heart, I disappear
Seems no one will appear here and make me real

[Hook: Davey Havok]
There are no flowers, no, not this time
There'll be no angels gracing the lines
Just these stark words, I find
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak
Just how much this hurts me

[Bridge: Davey Havok]
I'd tell you how it haunts me
I'd tell you how it haunts me
(Cuts through my days, and sinks into my dreams)
I'd tell you how it haunts me
(Cuts through my days, and sinks into my dreams)
You don't care that it haunts me

[Hook: Davey Havok]
There are no flowers, no, not this time
There'll be no angels gracing the lines
Just these stark words, I find
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak
Just how much this hurts me

[Outro: Davey Havok]
Just how much this hurts me
Just how much you...
