Death Wish (Live from The O2 Arena)

[Intro]

Alright, "Death Wish"

[Verse 1]

My love, you love your time machine

Your power trips and diamond rings

The walls you built on teenage dreams

The well you dug for sinking things

Your words to kill are evergreen

So you must not feel anything at all

But how'd you get so bulletproof?

You trade your time for inside truths

Trade your time for any clue

Of what to do or not to do

Hate to say it's nothing new

Aside from those few girls you keep around

[Chorus]

But how will it end? How long will you give me

'Til you twist the knife with a smile while you kill me?

And you ask me to dance if there's someone around

You don't look the samе when I look at you now

[Verse 2]

Well, honey piе, you're haunting me

I fell for your faux fantasy

You poured the wine, there's poison in it

Disregard my disposition

Truth is in the subtle things

Your eggshell floor is splintering now, mm

And it freaks me out I'm old enough

To know you as a gateway drug

You're everything I'll never be

You live to look for enemies

I have to bet that's lonely

Could leave you with an empty house

[Chorus]

But how will it end? How long will you give me

'Til you twist the knife with a smile while you kill me?

Then you ask me to dance if there's someone around

You don't look the same when I look at you now

And I used to pretend that it didn't feel evil

Your light of a million suns burns through people

And bridges and cities 'til ash covers ground

A breath of your air is a death wish

And you're forcing my hand, but I'm a drop in your ocean

I ruined your plans of some grand self-promotion

The second you figured that I figured you out

Now you look away when I look at you now

[Outro]

Oh, look at you now

Well, look at you

Look at you
