Lady Death Never Wanted Me As a Lover

[Verse 1]
I stroke my scars like
Jewels, gems, and diamonds
The battle's far from fools
Men who find them
And put the pieces together
Puzzles left without the pieces forever
Into these pieces that were tethered
And spread my pain to each corner
The world over
And life goes on and each planet
Who soothes quarter
The tide ebbs
I sit and wait for nothing
This is the place
Where men die and sit waiting
When god's coming
I lost my faith long ago
And learned to face down
Push back the hate
And felt regret wasted now
I only wanted to feel something
But feel nothing
And i was promised the universe
For real, cousin
And every time I reach for heavenly heights
The dust crumbled from my finger tips
And sediment died
A life time of pain
As I sit to ponder everything
At peace
He is I
And I am him
So let me sing

[Chorus]
Life and death are states I flicker in and out of
My regrets are left and now the taste is sour
If I'm dead then tell me how to get me out of
Feeling this cause lifetimes pass me every hour
And lady death, she's never one to rely
And life is just a bitch until the day that you die
And time is no excuse and so within it we hide
And create songs in history
Preserved in the lie
(I wanna scream fuck you
But the problem is I love you)
(I wanna scream fuck you
But the problem is I love you)

[Verse 2]
I offered her the universe
She gave me a pen
I wrote about the things
I swore to do til the end
And built temples and statues
And they trapped me within
And here i sit waiting
For the next life to begin
The first time i met the devil
Was at a bar one night
Sitting next to me
He asked me what i wanted from life
I told him all i knew
Was death was coming closer
And i embraced her
Held her close like
My beautiful bride
Cause lady luck
Will cast a spell and
Make you reminisce the scene
And fate will toss come-hither glances
Over broken dreams
And love is just a fantasy we place in songs
To keep 'em spinning
Hate and anger fill the crevices and keep us power driven
I never wanted this life
And now i'm stuck with it
And for the first time
I'm seeing my life in flushed limits
And every song that i write nothing
But rushed gimmicks
Death is nothing more than living
With nothing done in it

[Chorus]
Life and death are states I flicker in and out of
My regrets are left and now the taste is sour
If I'm dead then tell me how to get me out of
Feeling this cause lifetimes pass me every hour
And lady death, she's never one to rely
And life is just a bitch until the day that you die
And time is no excuse and so within it we hide
And create songs in history
Preserved in the lie
(I wanna scream fuck you
But the problem is i love you)
(I wanna scream fuck you
But the problem is i love you)

[Verse 3]
(cause in life)
You're told to follow
Every dream in your heart
(and in death)
You wonder why
You never bothered to start
(and in life)
You live each fucking day
To the fullest
(and in death)
You hold the trigger
Of the pistol and you pull it
Shrugged off existence
Left me feeling listless
Took the wisdom handed down
And passed it to the children
And every single misstep
Was quite clear
From the sixth stench
Back to square one
Stuck and holding
My fists clenched
I was left a brittle mess
Limped and broken
Dipped in sweat
Breathing from a broken chest
Heaving in
A hopeful head
Leaving everybody
That i once considered kin and flesh
Easing towards the exile
As my feelings left me torn from them
You never started
As you hid from the storm
You never noticed
That you left your fucking heart on the floor
And so we reconcile the time
And stand a step away
And lady death
She never really wanted to stay

Yes, yes y'all
And you don't stop

Yes, yes y'all
And you don't stop

Yes, yes y'all
And it don't stop

Yes, yes y'all
And it don't stop

[Chorus]
Life and death are states I flicker in and out of
My regrets are left and now the taste is sour
If I'm dead then tell me how to get me out of
Feeling this cause lifetimes pass me every hour
And lady death, she's never one to rely
And life is just a bitch until the day that you die
And time is no excuse and so within it we hide
And create songs in history
Preserved in the lie
