lyrics

don’t make it worse, my dear
i’m stacking up coals
they’re not for the cold.

i can’t number all my fears
i got blood on your clothes
that stem there’s a rose.

and we’re far from touching torment
i’m blind and you just fold.

we’re far from being honest
but if i could lie, i’d say so.

so how would you do it,
some pills or a bullet?
so how would you do it,
some pills or a bullet?
send flowers to my place,
on your ride home

you can’t be insincere.
i need to know,
before the smoke.

was it sadness or just fear
on nights you broke
i keep count of my own.

and we’re far from touching torment
i’m blind and you just fold.

we’re far from being honest
but if i could lie, i’d say so.

so how would you do it,
some pills or a bullet?
so how would you do it,
some pills or a bullet?
a funeral pyre,
cross-stitch, dead rose.

how can i sort through
what you’ve said and done
i fucking built me a frame,
before my painting was done

like i told you:
i can’t compose, ya
eyes turned to stone,
let my friends take everything that i own.

and we’re far from touching torment
i’m blind and you just fold.

we’re far from being honest
but if i could lie, i’d say so.

something bittersweet to see you, my love.
i would take it back, but it’s already done.

something bittersweet to see you, my love.
i just lit the match to burn with the sun.

so how would you do it,
some pills or a bullet?
so how would you do it,
some pills or a bullet?
i cant decide yet,
maybe there’s hope.

how can i sort through
what you’ve said and done
i fucking built me a frame,
before my painting was done

like i told you:
i can’t compose, ya
eyes turned to stone,
let my friends take everything that i own.

so how would you do it?

cut off the sound
i need it silent
so i can divide
my tongue to pray

angel of doubt
apple of my eye
or the arrow
in the tree
