May Lyrics

Life comes at you fast, but you never liked the wait

Too starved of the past and too hungry to embrace your fate

May comes and goes, the fire ebbs and flows, its the last thing that you ate

Are you a captive or the captain of a ship you hate?

It's gone, it's gone, no stomach at all

It's gone its gone its gone its gone

Are you really gonna stand there

And make a face like you're not suffering?

Like I don't care?

Send your regards to the waitstaff

Send my regards to the birds

Neither of them is gonna guard your heart the way you deserve

All that acid behind an unkind veneer

But you can't fool me, I can see when it disappears

May growls and churns, how the tables turn when you're ready to be fed

You can try your best but there's a tapeworm in your head

It's gone it's gone no emotion at all

It's gone it's gone it's gone it's gone

Are you really gonna stand there

And make a face like you're not suffering?

Like I don't care?

Send your regards to the wastelands

Send my regards to the dirt

Neither of them is big enough to play host to all your hurt

You can be empty, but you'll never be free

Go bury it beneath the rhododendron tree

There's a damsel in distress, what a mess, maybe I can make it better

There's a damsel in distress, I confess, I have only made it worse

I'll use the sharpened edges of your heart

To tear myself apart

It's gone, it's gone, no stomach at all

It's gone its gone its gone its gone

Are you really gonna stand there

And make a face like you're not suffering?

Like I don't care?

Send your regards to the basement

Send my regards to the stone

Nothing's ever gonna taste right when you're eating it alone
