[Lyric] All the Gods Died Young (Scarsdale)

I gazed into my rearview
And it sent me back in time
Suddenly you were riding there next to me
And we left the world behind

I felt your hands upon my belt
As you whispered in my ear
"I know you wanna die but I'll make it worth your time
If you just stay with me here"

And so we ran those backstreets together
Making deals with the gods who promised to burn this town down
The angels never did care much for us
And everything wе touched always turned to rust
But you promised
Wе'd follow one another into the ground
So where the hell are you now?

I found the letters you wrote me
And they read like a suicide note
Your poetry dripped from the pages like blood
Your pen a razor, your inkwell - my throat
I never was your rock
I was just another stepping stone
And without another laid before me
I'm left chasing your ghost alone

But once we ran those backstreets together
Making deals with the gods who promised to burn this town down
The angels never did care much for us
And everything we touched always turned to rust
But you promised
We'd follow one another into the ground
So where the hell are you now?

I remember that night like it was yesterday
Had my last dollar packed for our last chance run
I waited all night for you but you never showed
And that's when I knew why all the gods died young

Now I walk these backstreets alone
All the gods died young, I'm gonna burn this whole fucking town down
The angels never did care much for us
And everything we touched turned to rust
But you promised! You promised! You promised!
And you lied
