Terminal

*Terminal: (of a disease) predicted to lead to death, especially slowly; [usually] incurable*  

Look at the TV screen, tell me what you see  
A man, a broken heart, who can’t stand the world?  
 
“He would kill himself, if away she ran”  
Lovesick like cancer’s inside his head  
(Oh oh)  
 
Look at reality, tell me everything  
Are you prepared to die, after a breakup?  
 
Hello my love, suicide awaits  
I thought you’d wanna see my friend Death  
(Oh oh)  
 
If you say you know all about the end of time,  
Have you ever felt a knife slit your throat,  
In front of everyone,  
Who just walks by?  
 
What do you think ‘bout, a little suicide?  
Do you think it’s just an amusement ride?  
 
A pretty thought to add to your love stories  
I’m flattered you think Death is a hottie  
 
What do you think ‘bout, draining your precious blood?  
Maybe a handsome vampire does the trick?  
 
Tell your family all of your goodbyes,  
Romance sold you for psychopath eyes.  
 
I’ll rip my heart out for you, what do you think?  
There’s something beautiful in losing organs  
 
Don’t tell me now, you’re afraid to go  
One drop of blood, then you’ve sealed the deal  
(Oh oh)  
 
Ah yes, you’re my little lying dependent fool,  
Is your lovely girl all that you need,  
To be somebody,  
To be happy?  
 
(Or maybe you’ve already drunk all of the poison...)  
 
What do you think ‘bout, a little suicide?  
It could be one hell of an amusement ride  
 
A lovely thought to tell yourself a delusion  
I’m flattered you think Death is a beauty  
 
What do you think ‘bout, draining your precious blood?  
I bet a handsome vampire does the trick  
 
Tell your family all of your goodbyes,  
You sold yourself to a shit full of lies.  
 
*instrumental*  
 
One arrow straight, in your beating heart  
Tell me when, and you’ll be in love.
