Death darling, I ain't ready to see you
I thought we had at least 10 more Months

And you got nothing new to say
I couldn’t bare to listen anyway

Death darling I ain't ready for you yet
You’re keeping me up far far too late
Holding me back, or maybe down

It’s too too easy, to forget that you’re not pulling my leg
This time.

Death darling, before we go on, or go home, set sail,
Don’t forget about the lights.
You know I can’t afford to leave them on.

Well I guess

Death darling, I can’t wait
To see our good ole boys again.
What do you suppose people do in the afterlife when they want to die?

Even death can’t cure a fool

It’s not that they can’t
It’s just that they won’t

What do you suppose I could possibly say to break your arms and their grip on me?

Even death can’t cure a fool,
You ***** and moan that life isn’t fair, there’s no warning on the label no one’s aware.

It’s not that they can’t
It’s just that they won’t

Break my bones one by one, I suppose soon I’ll probably collapse like that old bridge

Save you some trouble,
O how convenient everything you’ve ever said
Even death can’t cure a fool

Burn it down and change your face
Here’s to hoping there is no regrets

A riot in heaven creates ******* hell

It’s not that they can’t
It’s just that they won’t

It’s really not that hard

But it might **** you
It might **** you
It might **** you

BUT I’M WILLING TO TAKE THAT CHANCE

Just apologize
At least I could fight it,

I yelled this out loud last time no one was around
And to give you some frame of reference

You pull ******* from your *** to make it easier to convince yourself And others that what you did was ok

And I don’t know if I’m more disappointed in you or the fact that no
One has the moral backbone to tell you that you just **** yourself

It’s not like we can’t smell you

I’m across a crowded room and I can feel my heart crack with each step you take
And I’m not sure if it’s worse when those steps lead away or come near and stay

It’s not easy for me to allow myself to step off the track of apathy I’ve disguised as rationality, but O my god does my blood boil and time freeze whenever you come around physically or mentally.

I really don’t have anything more to say although I wish I did,
But you’d probably twist it around and around. So thank you for the anxiety, it gives me a cold reality check every time I nearly die,

But it seems no one accepts checks anymore, it makes me feel outdated, like hate in a pacifist,
I don’t do anything.

So, similar to a grain of sand in the ocean I barely can hear it scratch the bottom of my throat.

I wish I had cancer.
And I called you
And I named you son
I cut the cord, I cut the cord

And I held you so afraid
And I prepared myself for everything
Except this

And I called you
And I named you son
I cut the cord, I cut the cord

And I held you so afraid
And I'm sorry child
I can't give you anything

I'm sorry child
I don't want to walk away
I'm sorry

I'm sorry
