lyrics

~
I couldn't tell if you were on something
last time,
I think I hoped you
thought the same

but why? do I sense that we were onto
something, true,
I wanted to die,
but then so did

you and everyone I ever respected
even those I'd never expect
so how could we take this death wish
that hovers over all of us
and find a different song to sing?

there, in the bar, I heard
the constant hum of dread
writ large, get space
to finally breathe

high, I am prodding at the truth
it writhes and winks
it sinks its teeth into what

I think there is a way to do this thrashing
in a way that seems dignified and true
well, maybe we should take this death wish,
that washes over all of us
and finally see what it could do ?

when the dread inside your chest gets let loose
and the vibe is finally killed inside this room
when I say, I am bound to die and so are you
and I kind of want to die, have you felt that too?
when we kind of want to die, what should we do?
when we kind of want to die, what should we do?
~
