Hotel Books - I Died With You lyrics

rate me

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'
