don t say it s the last time you ll ever need this to simply blow over in words you conceal with it doesn t mean much when you re telling me lies to prove your affection you d marry my strings but when i m called away do you bury my things how easily unearthed what our maladies hide but i ll never leave you could never go where i couldn t follow i ll make you see never been a pill or sin i couldn t swallow i swear on the bottle from the bottom it all looks worse than it is ink takes routine takes ink we ll parch the words that leave me as film on your lips wrists and fingers a cage like the first verse when i promised you all the rest now you ll feel the rest but i ll never leave you could never go where i couldn t follow i ll make you see never been a pill or sin i couldn t swallow i swear on the ballot from up here you can t see a thing so i ll never ask you could never take the words that would follow and you ll never tell never said a thing that i didn t already know i swear on the gavel from the battle i ve grown tired of the war let s remove the bond from these bands that we wear the rings never closed so there ll ne er be a blame to bear where we re built to bend oh the flesh never dyes
