Narcissus

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Max Bemis] In love with yourself, you first met On the rainy steps where your conscience left And in the acid rain, shot through your veins The taste of your lips and your fingertips bloodied and gripped The courtship was short I do report As your former confidante, he who you were leaning on It was so hard for me but not hard to see How you could fall for yourself [Pre-Chorus 1: Max Bemis] After all, I loved you After, after all, I loved you [Chorus: Max Bemis] I'd rather die than let you chew upon my energy I know you're no friend to me After all you've done I'm free, and I can finally see I'd rather die than let you ever get away with this You are the antithesis Narcissus, this kiss could be upon my own lips I'd rather die [Verse 2: Max Bemis, Sherri Dupree-Bemis] Yesterday, I caught myself Dreaming of the day we laying the flux of fate In denial of our sick and dying love As those tiny suns die in the onyx above My friends never liked you, now they truly hate you So, jump in a polluted great lake, go fishing for snakes You have no alibi, your bright and burning lie You won't convince me the devil's a reasonable guy [Pre-Chorus 2: Max Bemis] 'Cause he loves you After, after all, he loves you [Chorus] I'd rather die than let you chew upon my energy I know you're no friend to me After all you've done I'm free, and I can finally see I'd rather die than let you ever get away with this You are the antithesis Narcissus, this kiss could be upon my own lips I'd rather die [Bridge: Modulated Voice] Baby, you'll be dying soon Deafened by a sonic boom Drowning, dying in the sea Sink beneath the brine for me You will die and I will live I have no more love to give Knowing all the wrong steps To pull you from your sinking cage Baby, you'll be dying soon Deafened by a sonic boom Drowning, dying in the sea Sink beneath the brine for me You will die and I will live I have no more love to give Knowing all the wrong steps (To pull you from your sinking end) [Chorus] I'd rather die than let you chew upon my energy I know you're no friend to me After all you've done I'm free, and I can finally see I'd rather die than let you ever get away with this You are my antithesis Narcissus, this kiss could be upon my own lips I'd rather die [Outro] I'd rather die I'd rather die
