Funeral Singer

It's been so many years since the first time
The vultures have been gone for so long
The past starts again
But now it's all been covered in ash
Dust yourself off and shine your bones cause
We've got a long way to go

I am the king of love to hate
You said we'd be together forever

I hope the candor doesn't piss you off
I wasn't joking
Forever's the last word I want to hear
Come out of your mouth

You are unchanged, why?
No matter how it looks
I'm just now realizing they look better awake
Then they ever did asleep
The pieces are bursting together
I've been trying for so long to place them

Yeah
I am the king of love to hate
You said we'd be together forever

I hope the candor doesn't piss you off
I wasn't joking
Forever's the last word I want to hear
Come out of your mouth
Circles inside squares sparing and spoiling

And now I've finally left you
Burning and gasping for life
You're drowning
You're drowning
But you're not, you won't
You are unchanged, why? And unchanged, how?
Unchanged, why? Unchanged, how?

This is the only way
Spit out the candles that keep me away from you
This is not an invitation
This is my plea
I want to lay down in the trap you set for me
And wait in peace for you
I'm bleeding from the inside
But nothing can protect myself from you
I want to lay down next to you and forget the world
The only people that exist are you and I
You and I
You and I
I want to look you in the eyes and count my blessings
You are so much more than just my other half
I'm telling you right now
I'd sell my soul for you
