That Must Have Been Some Cave!

How far would you go
To spend one more day as your own ghost
haunting those thrift store clothes?

How long would you last
Up to your neck in pieces of the past
Rotting in the undergrowth?

How long will you hold
The stitches that healed so long ago
Worried that you'll need them again?
 
How far would you go
To spend one more day with the devil you know
Waiting for the bitter end

Follow me, empathy
Did I learn anything?
Swallow me, entropy
It's just another day
Through the trees' canopies
The light won’t reach everything
I'll always be in between
Or maybe it just feels that way

What We Do In the Shadows

Is it wrong to lie to someone who’d rather hear it
To play the part of who they wish you’d be?
Is it wrong to run from someone who wants to chase you
Just for them to finally catch then release?
Is it wrong to hurt someone who wants to hurt you
Just to ease some pain that they’ll never let you see?
Is it wrong to kill someone who hopes you die
In the middle of the night while you dream?

Is it wrong to want
The greatest sin is to want
Love to come easy
