death wish
You have such a subtle way of calling me crazy
You'd rather wade in poisoned waters than call me
I'm such a fool for you and your million daydreams
Go ahead and set another fire beneath me
It's all an ode to nothing anyways
All your embers settle over my grave
Do you still say grace for me?
How long before your prayers forget me?
You can push me over the highest cliff
It won't break my bones like you did
Sorrowful while I tend to your wounds
You're such a mystery, why don't you want me like I do?
You have such a foolish way of loving me
You know I'd die for you if you'd asked nicely
You're too polite and condescending to say you've been tempted to
Does the thrill of one's affection end once you feel it too?
It's all an ode to nothing anyways
As the waves hit my ship, I call it a day
And I'm coming back to you, why can't you wait
All my embers settle over your grave
My fingers shake as I write every thing I want to say
Are you a fool enough to burn my trust in the forged fires of a faithless day
Don't you care for me to bleed with some sincerity
Why must you, pretend to win my love so earnestly?
I feel the taste of your fists on my lips
As I kissed your knuckles the last time I held you
If I had known that my memory of you would turn sour in your mind
I would've stayed and fallen prey to the hunt you called that night
It's all an ode to nothing anyways
Caught in your safety net you sailed away
Before dawn could ascend into my tenth house of faith
I always knew you were the trouble that kept mine at bay
It's all an ode to nothing anyways
You're a siren in the quiet of my lonely days
Only by love and money can a kinship be stained
You're a stranger to me now but I'll fight this wave
But I hope you know that I've been borrowing time
You found peace because I gave you mine
In all of these wars, our swords met just one time
It's all an ode to nothing but a death wish I've been making every night.
