[Verse]
Every inch of me threaded through your tapestry
A circus of vermin gathered
to laugh at the count of casualties
As the bodies pile I rifle through the imagery
And shed a tear with my last ounce of dignity
If the world is your oyster - I am it's shell
Soaking in the moisture - caught in the swell
I remember vividly all the gifts you've given me
From the arrows to the bullets
And everything in between
You can measure
the crossed hairs in the crossbow
As I count the soft hairs on your head
You can count the bullets you have yet to load
Or we can map out a plot to rest
But every word burns like ghost pepper
I should've known better
Years of chasing rainbows
and I found no treasure
But you were so special
There was no pressure applied
and you became a diamond
It wasn't 'til the mummy wrap un-winded
that I finally realized it
Now I've spent a lifetime apologizing
My bad timing banned access to the tomb
Soon to be consumed
in a 'shroom cloud of gloom (boom!)
I'm still not convinced of the apocalypse
I'm too busy walking
on eggshells and broken promises

[Hook] x2
Fill in the blanks - I hope to rank up
Maybe I'll wake up walking the plank
Over the shark tank - These are dark days
And in large ways you complete me
A puzzle: left unfinished
Sitting on the table - pieces missing
Overlooked and boring
A leech amongst the chlorine

[Verse]
You're pulling on my heart
strings like a cable car
It's funny.
I used to think we wouldn't make it far
Now look at us.
Holding hands as we chase the stars
But you've got my fucking heart
trapped in a mason jar
And with every step
you re-stretch these faded scars
They were almost closed
I was almost home
Then the road turned to dirt
Now I stand here froze
Left again to question the path I chose
I could've swore I tasted victory
Nope. It was false hope
Just another instrument of your cheap trickery
So I'm drinking rum and coke
to drown any need for sympathy
I hate you and your fucking mummy curse
My fucking stomach hurts
And I'm waiting on something worse
But I think the worst thing is living in the past
Looking around wondering if everything will last
The slightest bump and this
house of cards will collapse
We're on the Titanic polishing the brass
Still, I remain here reciting the same sonnet
Standing on the tracks
Wishing to play chicken
but there isn't a train on 'em
Holding an empty glass
Trying to silence the same problems
"This too shall pass."
Until then, there's a bar stool with my name on it
And I'm not ready to acknowledge
That I'm not being entirely honest

[Bridge]
Did I really love you? I can't be sure
I thought you were the one but maybe you weren't
We were great together,
Saw myself with you forever
But when it ended I wasn't even hurt
Did I really love you? I can't be sure
I thought you were the one but maybe you weren't
We were great together,
Saw myself with you forever
But deep down I always knew I could do better
