You Say You'd Like To, You Never Will

Of all the things I told myself that I chose to believe
The one where I'm unbreakable turned out the worst for me
'Cause lately I've been something like an Elvis death denier
A tiny helpless infant treading water in the Nile

To everybody who has ever had it out for me
I'm sorry for being an asshole
I had no reason to be
'Cause lately I've been feeling something like a fifth-year meme
A drunken father in the bleachers swearing at the other team

You say you'd like to, you never will
The sun is setting on my sill
I know it's hard, swallow the pill
The water's sterile and distilled
You say you'd like to, you never will

I've been seeing glimpses of myself I try to meet
I'm having dreams I'm in the ocean and I'm learning how to breathe
Lately I've been something like an answering machine
Or a sunburnt vinyl decal that says "I Want To Believe"

You say you'd like to, you never will
The task remains so unfulfilled
The lever's stuck on "Set to Kill"
You're casting actors for a film
You say you'd like to, you never will

You say you'd like to, you never will
The sun is setting on my
I know it's hard, swallow the pill
The water's sterile and distilled

You say you'd like to, you never will
The task remains so unfulfilled
The glass is broken, wine is spilled
It hurts like hell but still won't kill
I say I'd like to and never will
