Kill Two Birds With One Sales Pitch

Soldiers sacrifice their arms and legs While your greatest weapon is forcing my hand Oh but I'm told it's all in the name of romance But when I fall asleep at night and the pillowcase goes damp under my face, You'll know I heard what things you whispered as you fail to say them to my face There's only so much time you can spend in space And there's only so many victim trophies to go around in the first place But you can only ever be alone in space And my oxygen has already suffocated me without the shift in atmosphere And just when I think your words are starting to intertwine us, They disappear Out of my hands, and into your layered mental shield of self protection Out of my ears, and into the file of your toxic denials Labeled under "reasons I knew I was right to move on" I'll save my best chorus for you, my saddest song The birthday card I never got Said "let's get this party started" And I'm praying that we end this on a good note Out of my hands, and into your violent guilt spirals Out of my ears, and into the dying wishes of my last chance That you chose to hold against me All in the name of romance I never got to see you in the light I wanted I never got to hold you in the darkness you always fall in Soldiers sacrifice their arms and legs when all I've ever wanted was for you to hold my hand I'll never see you in the light I wanted I'll never get to hold you in the darkness you fall in The title of that book I never read Said "let's get this show on the road" And I'm begging that we end this on a good note Diamonds are worth their weight in gold Your one-word responses Make me wanna light myself on fire I touched your soul and it gave me frostbite Shoulders aren't the only things running cold Diamonds are worth their weight in gold If you weigh them after they're sold That short poem you wrote in 6th grade On the back of your homework Said "here's to those who softly spoke" And I'm really praying that means we’ll end this on a good note All royalty stems from sociopathic tendencies And you might just have the ego to reign Longer than Charlemagne You can’t have your cake and eat it too If our love was shown in wavelengths, It would have more flatlines than an ICU Don't worry, your friends are already asking Who's running this hospital? Who's running this hospital? Don't worry, your friends are already wondering A one way ticket But not because it's a means to an end But because if you miss the train, It’ll never show up again Don't worry, your friends are already asking Who's running this hospital? Who's running this hospital? Don't worry, your friends are already wondering
