Die on the Vine Lyrics

I built a temple to the god of pretty things and set your place at the table that I laid

I lit a fire to burn my offerings and I prayed, oh how I prayed

So you cried, that's the price that you paid for my faith

Said you'd try, that you'd try to be worthy of praise

I said, I'll offer all that you ask of me

As long as you know what my devotion means

A season of grieving, Autumn came and went and disappeared, like smoke into the night

And in the winter of my discontent, I kept warm in a violet light

I said, this worship is certain to lose me my mind

Hedging my bets just to make you all mine

And I still don't know what you want from me, but I'll own it the moment you leave

And how did I know that right here is where I'll find you?

Taking your chances, or taking your time?

And how did we wind up with me lying here beside you?

Pouring my heart out like you poured the wine?

We have grown ever more tangled and tethered

But you still won't make up your mind

Would you rather die on the vine?

How coincidental, I feel better after champagne

The more I have, the more I'm left to want

And in the Dionysian haze, I let you speak my name

A confession off an unrepentant tongue

And what of me when I'm enough for your appetite?

When your craving is sated and you're satisfied

Will you still entertain the mere thought of me when you're holding me between your teeth?

And how did I know that right here is where I would find you?

Taking your chances, or taking your time?

And how did we wind up with me lying here beside you

Pouring my heart out like you poured the wine?

And if we go down, we will hit the ground together

And as for me, I'll be just fine

Would you rather die on the vine?

I brought my indulgence with me these nights

Wielding my madness just like a scythe

The later the harvest, the sweeter the wine

And I swear that I wouldn't dare waste your time

And how did I know that right here is where I would find you?

(This is the fate to which I am resigned)

And how did we wind up with me lying here beside you?

(Sinking your roots into my piece of mind)

And how did I know that right here is where I'll find you

Taking your chances, or taking your time?

And how did we wind up with me lying here beside you

Pouring my heart out like you poured the wine?

And if we go down, we will hit the ground together

And as for me, I'll be just fine

Now we have grown ever more tangled and tethered

But you still can't make up your mind

Would you rather die on the vine?

Would you rather die on the vine?
