lyrics

They say I have a death wish
and I know you have the same.
And tales of suicide are what
are what play the tragic refrain.
And I don't know
what's left to do.
I've lost hope in Revolution,
but I'm keeping hope in you.

I know we've always wanted more,
but to care for each other is an act of War.
Let's write our own love songs,
steal the notes from dirges we've had to sing.
This world doesn't want us to survive,
but I'm gonna die on my own time.
And if our lives have to be ablaze
let's make sure they're burning bright!

There are so many days I feel
I have a broken will.
But when I look into your eyes
I know it's in me still.
Fuck self harm and
Fuck routine!
There have to be more options
than a corpse or a machine.

I know we've always wanted more,
but to care for each other is an act of War.
Let's write our own love songs,
steal the notes from dirges we've had to sing.
This world doesn't want us to survive,
there are so many ways not to be alive.
And if our lives have to be ablaze
let's make sure they're burning bright!

The only thing keeping me here
is sometimes love and spite.
When those I love are threatened,
I won't go without a fight.
Breathe out,
Breathe in.
One more day their
tactics didn't win.

I know we've always wanted more,
but to care for each other is an act of War.
Let's write our own love songs,
steal the notes from dirges we've had to sing.
This world doesn't want us to survive,
but I'm gonna die on my own time.
And if our lives have to be ablaze
let's make sure they're burning bright!
