chop chop!

I've got myself to blame for this

I've tried to compensate for everything I'm not

And every face forgotten

You felt the sun warming your bed

You look so quintessential

Pressed against that cross

In the face of what was lost

Still I am not asking much of me

You're ignoring the matter

You'll shut me up and bleed me dry

With cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle

But if nothing else matters

Then I will die trying

Thinking about you and I

Three years on Friday since we met

You felt that existential kiss upon your neck

How could we forget that still

I am through acting like this feels right

And now that nothing else matters

You'll shut me up and bleed me dry

With cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle

But if nothing else matters

Then I will die trying

Trying not to think about

Saw yourself and no one else

It's on yourself and no one else

But with our hearts tied

I guess it serves me right

You'll shut me up and bleed me dry

With cheap champagne and a disappearing lifeline

If nothing else matters

Then I will die trying

Thinking about you and I

You'll shut me up and bleed me dry

Only on that hour of time

With cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle

Only on that hour of time
