This Will Outlive Us

Gone are the days of evasion

Existence is how you create it

What ever compels you to keep on

Fucking embrace it

So long as the missing piece of the puzzle

Is split down the middle

We had better

Prepare ourselves for perpetual winter

Why do we do this to ourselves?

Continuous escape, a living hell

Like those other lovers hidden under the covers

It's so empty in the arms of another

See what you've done

You're irresistible with your sordid stories

The morbid glory of it all

Remember when times were worth celebrating

Pour the wine for the fallen friends

And foes singing in unison

My hell is a blank piece of paper

Staring back at me

My hell is wasted potential

Haunting me

Oh, why do we do this to ourselves?

Continuous escape, a living hell, living hell

Oh, why do we do this to ourselves?

It's so fucking empty in the arms of another
