She says everything dies
Whether it’s in bloodstains and ruin
Or from slow-burning lies
Either way, we’ll die screaming
She says you can’t be surprised
Death can’t be fooled by that normal-guy disguise
But I’ll handcuff you to me
So he can’t take you away
And I’ll always love you
because we’re both fucking insane
I tell her I love you
She says I’ll make some calls.
Maybe we can share a room with nice, thick padded walls
We’ll stay there forever, I’ll keep you so close
Do you think they can fit two people in one of those white coats?
But they won’t get to lock me up
They’re far too late
I met a pretty poisoned girl
and now Death has a date
I tell her goodbye
as he turns out the lights
Screaming, “If you go, I’ll carve my heart out”
she finally cries
But don’t worry, angel
Everything dies
It’s better to be poisoned
than trapped living half-lives
"That was sad," I tell him when he stops strumming his guitar. "I think we died."
"Everything dies," he says. "You said you wanted sad, remember?"
"I did."
