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'
