death wish

(album: honeybee table at the butterfly feast - 2022)

What if you let go?
What if you stopped pretending?
Take the shades down
Just long enough to let the light in
When you say you hate what you've become
Do you realize we know
You've been this way since the beginning?
Is that why you're scared of me?
Because I've seen through the act?
And I tried to walk away
Before this all came to pass?
There's barely a difference
There's just a list of victims
And no matter what you try to say
You're not one of them, you never will be
Is it a deathwish?
Is it a deathwish?
Is it a deathwish?
Is it a deathwish?

Is it a deathwish?
Is it a deathwish?
Is it a deathwish?
Is it a deathwish?

(You don't get to walk away from this
You've had too many chances
Too many chances
I hope you never find peace
Strip the bed; burn the sheets)
