The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot

If it makes you less sad, I will die by your hand
I hope you find out what you want
I already know what I am
And if it makes you less sad, we’ll start talking again
And you can tell me how vile I already know that I am
I’ll grow old and start acting my age
I’ll be a brand new day in a life that you hate
A crown of gold, a heart that’s harder than stone
And it hurts a whole lot, but it’s missed when it’s gone

Call me a safe bet
I’m betting I’m not
I’m glad that you can forgive
I’m only hoping as time goes, you can forget

If it makes you less sad, I’ll move out of the state
If you keep to yourself, I’ll keep out of your way
And if it makes you less sad, I’ll take your pictures all down
Every picture you paint, I will paint myself out
It’s cold as a tomb, and it’s dark in your room,
when I sneak to your bed to pour salt in your wounds
So call it quits, or get a grip
You say you wanted a solution, but you just wanted to be missed

Call me a safe bet
I’m betting I’m not
I’m glad that you can forgive
I’m only hoping as time goes, you can forget

So you can forget, you can forget

You are calm and reposed
Let your beauty unfold
Pale white like the skin stretched over your bones
Spring keeps you ever close
You are second hand smoke
You are so fragile and thin
Standing trial for your sins
Holding onto yourself the best you can
You are the smell before rain
You are the blood in my veins

Call me a safe bet
I’m betting I’m not
I’m glad that you can forgive
I’m only hoping as time goes, you can forget
