The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

If it makes you less sad

I will die by your hand

I hope you find out what you want

I already know what I am

And if it makes you less sad

We'll start talking again

And you can tell me how vile

I already know that I am

I'll grow old and start acting my age

I'll be a brand new day in a life that you hate

A crown of gold

A heart that's harder than stone

And it hurts a whole lot

But it's missed when it's gone

Call me a safe bet

I'm betting I'm not.

I'm glad that you can forgive

I'm only hoping as time goes

You can forget

If it makes you less sad

I'll move out of the state

You can keep to yourself

I'll keep out of your way

And if it makes you less sad

I'll take your pictures all down

Every picture you paint

I will paint myself out

It's cold as a tomb

And it's dark in your room

When I sneak to your bed to pour salt in your wounds

So call it quits or get a grip

Say you wanted a solution

You just wanted to be missed

Call me a safe bet

I'm betting I'm not

I'm glad that you can forgive

I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget

So you can forget, you can forget

You are calm and reposed

Let your beauty unfold

Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones

Spring keeps you ever close

You are second hand smoke

You are so fragile and thin

Standing trial for your sins

Holding onto yourself the best you can

You are the smell before rain

You are the blood in my veins

Call me a safe bet

I'm betting I'm not

I'm glad that you can forgive

I'm only hoping as time goes

You can forget
