Scene Partner (Love You to Death) Lyrics

If there was a person here

I'd find a way to tell them

Things are stopping now

Things are done

These animals can hurt, and I thought that was a joke

I know that there's a person here

I can see the plastered skin

Things are harder now

In too bright colored print

These animals can smile

And I thought that meant that someday so would I

I'm going to smile, and my smile will sink down into your pupils

And heaven knows what it will become

You'd seldom see him past your bedside

Did you love him

Did you love him like you should

Desire's nothing once it's satisfied

You wanted teen love

I wanted us to share our blood

Lovers is such a primitive term

We were limbs locked in embrace

Held in place until it hurt

There's still punctures on your ribs

From where you cut them as a kid

When I think that you're the only one who learned

There's such a sickness back in that old town

That twists your throats to keep it down

And force you both to choke out an I love you

Evoking imagery of burnt out trees

The lights would make us feel diseased

And seek comfort in the darkness of the arms of another

But I will not let this affect me

I will become a mountain of man

I will be tall and strong and confident

And this will really change you, in an important way

And then the credits will draw near

And I'll have learned a powerful lesson

I will be a finished product

I have to try again (I was your nervous masterpiece)

I have to be someone else (you were my soul and body)

I love you to death (come now, immortal reverie)

But I don't wanna die yet (confess your sin and say your piece)

You did what you thought would destroy you

We weren't connected at the hip

We bled colors made of each other

We have no colors left to spill

I want to see that ship go under

Watch the ocean take what's his

When that camera breaks

I'll find a way to make the same mistakes

The forest followed me home

Space collapsed at your doorstep

These animals marched over them both

The forest swallowed my home

Space collapsed in your arms

These animals marched over us both

The forest followed me home

Space collapsed at your doorstep

These animals marched over them both

The forest swallowed my home

Space collapsed in your arms

These animals marched over us both

We both had blisters on our fingers

That we will never

We will never see again

I can't help but feel a little underwritten

What kind of resolution is this

The ground did not spew fire

Leviathan did not awake

But our TV show is on

I have to try again

I have to be someone else

I love you to death

But I don't wanna die yet

I have to try again (I was your nervous masterpiece)

I have to be someone else (you were my soul and body)

I love you to death (come now, immortal reverie)

But I don't wanna die yet (confess your sin and say your piece)

You did what you thought would destroy you

I gotta get back, I gotta get

You did what you thought would destroy me

I wanna go back, I wanna go back

I wanna go back

I wanna go back

I wanna go

Everything is just exactly how it used to be

But that feels harder now

It's not enough

These animals can hurt

And I think they're getting worse

I'm sorry for the both of us

So you don't have to say it

Not to me at least

It would only hurt my ears

These animals can smile

And I think that now I'm just happy for them
