I Died With You

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, spitting venom on lovers, leaving them with doubt

Just don’t choke on communion or those emotions. Swallow down a staining 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 and paste the same burden

Rinsing cuts with alcoholic remedies to bury the pharisees, chasing 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 dripping from the mouth of me and my emotions

And that’s why that I can’t feel any of this

If I didn’t die with you, I don’t think I’ve ever lived

If I didn’t try to save you, it just shows my selfishness

If I didn’t die with you, I don’t think I’ve ever 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 anything 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 something fake

Cause it’s easier than turning to above rather than trusting

That I can make up my own ending, something I can break

I trusted your love and listened to every word that you said

I had so many words to say but now they’re just stuck in my head

I trusted your love and listened to every word that you said

I had so many words to say but now they’re just stuck in my head

I trusted your love and listened to every word that you said

I had so many words to say but now they’re just stuck in my head

I trusted your love and 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 something sweet

And I have all I want but nothing that I need. I have nothing. Nothing

I trusted your love and listened to every word that you said

I had so many words to say but now they’re just stuck in my head
