I Died With You

Your rating:
Break this bread like you broke his body 
And raise a glass above your eye level
Boast in the moments that leave a stable memory 
To scare away the remains of the devil
Let that alcohol burn out the demons in your mouth
Spittin' venom on lovers, leavin' them with doubt
Just don’t choke on communion or those emotions
Swallow down a stainin' memory before it’s washed out
My guilty conscience was a chaser for every broken rib
Every shred of skin, my selfish repentance
My need to feel clean just so I can copy & paste the same burden
Rinsin' cuts with alcoholic remedies to bury the pharisees
Chasin' my apathy with a need for attention
A retention of amens to cover the blood drips 
And bloodshed of broken men who put purpose
To the regurgitated blood drippin' from the mouth of me 
And my emotions, & that’s why that I can’t feel any of this
If I didn’t die with you, I don’t think I’ve eva lived
If I didn’t try to save you, it just shows my selfishness
Offer it to the serpents that listen to the end of this
Always hide who you want to be until it’s gone
I can see that I don’t have anythin' at all
The naked cannot clothe the poor in spirit with oxygen 
And the wine I tasted reminded me of the night 
She took advantage of my advances rather 
Than the blood sacrifice that I can make a better decision
A guilty conscience is better than no consideration I guess 
But the rest is placed in a test of time versus how much 
I care about my own mess
When I can’t see the beauty in her scars but only the body in her dress
How is this love when the scars paved the way to the truth in all of this? 
The comfort of existence removed my need to chase love 
And I conformed to somethin' fake cuz it’s easier than 
Turnin' to above rather than trusting that I can make up my own endin'
Somethin' I can break
I trusted your love & listened to every word 
That you said, I had so many words to say but now 
They’re just stuck in my head
Now this wine is a bitter sting rather than somethin' 
Sweet & I have all I want but nothin' that I need
I have nothin', nothin'
