David |
| David, I don’t believe in God |
| I don’t think we’re heroes in this play |
| I see beauty in your eyes |
| But all around me |
| Corruption, cruelty, and senselessness |
| You wanna know that time erodes all pain |
| With all certainty I can’t say |
| David, I take no comfort in fate |
| Unruly prevaricator |
| And bathos in the well of my memories |
| Colors all it touches |
| Sentimental and cheap |
| Whatever you say |
| Don’t say we were lucky |
| Whatever you do |
| Don’t call it chance |
| That’s like saying it was an accident |
| When I was running at you |
| Running at you with my sharpest knife |
| Friends we know will fall behind |
| Many of them at their own hands |
| Some caught beneath the wheel of the bigger lie |
| They were fucked from the start, baby |
| They never began |
| David, I don’t need a second chance |
| Though your hands are tied and mine are none too clean |
| This life is the only one I want to live |
| And it ain’t any less of a gift when it’s one you cannot keep |
| Whatever you say |
| Don’t say we were lucky |
| Whatever you do |
| Don’t call it chance |
| It was no accident |
| I was running at you with my sharpest knife |
| Running at you |
| Running at you |
| Running at you with my sharpest knife |
| Running at you with my sharpest knife |
