Savior Self

I love you tastes like dirty words
Dusty in my mouth
I miss you is an echo
I down and chase with doubt
I'm using olive branches
To rekindle the fire
My most honest moment
Was when I told you
I'm a liar

And I'd get off my high horse
If you'd end your crusade
Of trying to find holy lands
In me you can invade
Don't you know I'm better at
Sucking out the life
You yield a stake and
I pack a knife

I've been drawing knight cards and you've been drawing blanks
Going out on a limb is the same as walking planks
You've got a complex
Out of context you're a saint
Now I'm on your highest shelf
So you should leave to save yourself

I want you is burnt sugar
On my tongue in cheek
And I laugh to my friends
That you don't mean much to me
But I can't tell jokes
From the cold truth anymore
Now I'm a "bad person"
Like I wasn't one before

And I'd get off my high horse
If you'd end your crusade
Of trying to find holy lands
In me you can invade
Don't you know I'm skilled at
Avoiding confrontation
And playing off cruelty as
Teasing flirtation

I've been drawing knight cards and you've been drawing blanks
Going out on a limb is the same as walking planks
You've got a complex
Out of context you're a saint
Now I'm on your highest shelf
So you should leave to save yourself
