lyrics

I am a monument to all your sins
And all the people that you've let down
As it began, so it can end
Another reason just to keep me around
Why did I keep you around?

I am selfish, I consume
Everything til there's no room
It's time to drown myself
And eat this pill to kill the
Will to feel the shame
That I betrayed
The one I love
Lips fit like a glove
To empty out the waste to your face
Picking at the bones you misplaced
This isn't a bed, it's a coffin

Culling all connections
Culling all connections
As I cry, "Not again!"
Not again!
Not again!

(Death at the altar
White dress with halter top
Romance is dead
But don't you ever let me
Beg and barter
I'm blacked out and bound to drop
Romance is dead
But don't you ever let me
Stop
You)

They said "I love you
And I want you to fix me"
A little touch to fill them up
A rush of dopamine
They said "I need you
And you promised to fix me"
But I'm not a martyr
And you're not a cause

Misshapen behavior
Forced to fit the situation
Glove-box romance
Hit the speakers!
Sex with weaker men got you down?
So don't frown
Cold crown that clown
Go grab your gown
And hit the town
To forget the sound of the places
They ground your heart to pulp
For metaphors
An ice cold contagious corpse
Just warm enough to
Keep you around
Time after time
I let everything I love
Die and rot on the vine
Just warm enough
Just warm enough to

(Death at the altar
White dress with halter top
Romance is dead
But don't you ever let me
Beg and barter
I'm blacked out and bound to drop
Romance is dead
But don't you ever let me
Stop
You)

I swear
I squeezed
You tight between my teeth
Hard pressed by a bony caress
A gilded lily, laid to rest

Don't let me stop
Don't let me stop
Don't let me stop
