Lyrics

Deathless

[Verse 1]

She said let's be deathless and sell our souls

Watch our portraits crack, our faces never grow old

Like a mime who's stuck in time as we revolve

For I might die unsatisfied and unresolved

[Verse 2]

Oh we could be deathless, just say the word

I've been brokering some shady deals for us

I know you trust my love as much as you trust my lust

But I know you're thrilled to see our rivals crushed

[Chorus]

I've been dying to live for something

It's better than dying for nothing

I want to be deathless

Want to be deathless

Want to be deathless

I've been living to die for something

It's better than living for nothing

I want to be deathless

Want to be deathless

Want to be deathless

[Verse 3]

Now that we're deathless, what shall we do?

Caught between the life that mocks and chokes the muse

Singing Purgatorio canto for you

I'm your snake oil salesman playing with the truth

[Chorus]

I've been dying to live for something

It's better than dying for nothing

I want to be deathless

Want to be deathless

Want to be deathless

I've been living to die for something

It's better than living for nothing

I want to be deathless

Want to be deathless

Want to be deathless

[Bridge]

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

[Chorus]

I've been dying to live for something

It's better than living for nothing

I want to be deathless

Want to be deathless

Want to be deathless

I've been living to die for something

It's better than dying for nothing

I want to be deathless

Want to be deathless

Want to be deathless
