No Friend - Paramore feat Aaron Weiss

Another brick-red room
Another black-top town
Another misspelled band burning their own houses down
Another pine-box tune to fill the cemetery day another stay
A touch of orange over purgatory gray
Another thorny field to scatter fruitless seed
Another song that runs too long
God knows no one needs more misguided ghosts

More transparent hands to drop a nickel in our basket and we'll do our riot
Dance beneath another burning sky
Behind our painted lips in scares catatonic smile-covered ankle-bitten ships
So throw your pedestal of stone in the forgetful sea
As protection from the paper-thin
Perfection you project on me
When this repetition ends behind the window shades
A semi-conscious sorrow sleeping in the bed I've made
That most unrestful bed
That most original of sins and you'll say that's
What I get when I let ambition win again
I'd hate to let you down

So I'll let the waters rise and drown my dull reflection in the naive expectation
In your eyes back in a cast bit-part
Back when I felt most free
I had a butcher's heart and no one thought they knew me
So before the regiment resumes
Before the dreaded sun appears
My driver's waiting so let's make one point crystal clear
You see a flood-lit form

I see a shirt design
I'm no savior of yours and you're no friend of mine
You're no friend of mine
You're no friend of mine
I'm no savior of yours and you're no friend of mine

You see a flood-lit form
I see a shirt design
I'm no savior of yours and you're no friend of mine
