intimacy. | poetry

fire away

I think you should take a car ride

Take your self-hatred out of my house

Find music that gives you peace of mind

Maybe a country record much cooler than mine

I think you should take a rebirth

Put your bitterness under an eraser

Find a story that doesn't involve being the killer

Of all the sacred dears you put in your death note

If the blood in your hands isn't from me

Then why do you say I pushed you from a cliff?

'Cause I would take fault for things I do

I'm not you, I don't find random people to sue

I told all my wolves not to attack your honor

Just to find you trying to frame me for murder

Is that the payback for how I made you cry?

You could've just asked me to leave town

Fire away, I can take your silver shots

Your age is no excuse to hurt people

Beat me, I can take your brass knuckles

Zombies are already heartless, you said it

You wanna keep fighting? Fight with a mirror

The only thing that can handle your pain

You wanna keep firing? Fire at a wall

And then no one will die from your mistakes

I'd happily play cowboys in the Wild West

I'd proudly put a sheriff star in my chest

And take all the civillians under my wings

Something you haven't done in a while, baby

I'd happily play zombie in a vacated city

I'd proudly be dead-man walking in dirty streets

And my feet would trip on two-century bones

If it meant you wouldn't turn me into a stone

But you like to pretend nothing is happening

You like to apply make-up to your stitches

As if no one's gonna notice who caused them

As if no one's gonna ask, "why do you carry it?"

'Cause you want your scars to be remembered

'Cause you think it will remind me of our story

'Cause you think it's gonna haunt me forever

I can't agree with you, but that's not necessary

Fire away, I can take your silver shots

Zombies only die when they want to

Beat me, I can take your brass knuckles

Vampires only die when they have to

You wanna keep fighting? Fight with a mirror

Maybe he's the only one who wants it

You wanna keep firing? Fire at a wall

Maybe that's the way no one will die from it

Maybe I didn't take my heart away from yours

Due to my ever-changing thoughts on love

Maybe I didn't leave you alone in Argentina

Due to my never-changing heartless habits

Maybe the gossips from Babylon reached me

About the times you used to fool innocent men

Maybe the wolves warned me to run from this

The skeletons you still hide in your closet

Fire away, I can take your silver shots

Zombies only die when they want to

Beat me, I can take your brass knuckles

Vampires only die when they have to

You wanna keep fighting? Fight with a mirror

Maybe he's the only one who wants it

You wanna keep firing? Fire at a wall

Maybe that's the way no one will die from it
