Algiers - I Can't Stand It!

I know what I want
But I never asked you for the ashes of our love in effigy
Time has come undone
But everybody just denies it all so desperately
Oh, 'cause this pain I try to forget
Keeps taking me under, oh, God
And this thing I'll live to regret takes me over
To the last of what's recorded through an undefined unease

I can't stand it
You turned the world the wrong way around
Nothing left to ask the axis
Nothing left to figure out
I can't stand it
The way my heart is bleeding out
While you walk away into the out of style

Outside, the kingdoms are falling
All because of the serpent he's calling
Everything that we know is eroding
Every door that we turned to is closing
But I held the crown up higher
While they sang a tune
Though you held me through the fire
There's not much left to do

I can't stand it
You turned the world the wrong way around
There's nothing left to ask the axis
Nothing left to figure out
I can't stand it
The way my heart is bleeding out
While you walk away into the out of style

Every number repeating
They echo all that you said
It's in the wind, whatever it is
It's almost here

And I felt this sense of anger
It's coming close when I just imagine them together
I just wish that we could figure out a way to see each other
And not destroy one another completely in the process
I wish there was a way that we could figure how to be young
To see your face in that candlelight, that electric grid
And that you're the most beautiful and hateful thing I've ever seen
