Beautiful reaper you come around, you don’t bring a scythe

You say you need help, and I stay believing your lies

Look me in the eye, tell me to hop in the ride

If you got a body to bury I’ll grab a shovel I don’t mind, even if it’s mine

And I’ll beg, I’ll beg

Say there’s another way

But I know it’s useless

There’s no fighting you

And I’ll feel that steel barrel

And try to breathe the air that I’m fallin' through

When it comes to you addiction’s far too soft a word

I’m not sick, I’m making choices

All this blame’s what I deserve

Love’s a Sisyphean task, but I’m condemned to see it stick

Or watch all I am get buried by a rolling stone eclipse

Yeah I write for you

And you love the moon

So I stuck it on my name hoping I’d feel special too

I make nothing but mistakes, but I'll be sure to see 'em through

I'm nothing if not persistent when I'm crawling back to you

In this hostage situation, I’m the victim, I’m the gun

I’m the feds and I’m the inside man

We live inside my skull

I’ll negotiate apologies I know will never come

Played it out a thousand times tonight, and it’s not even 1

When it comes to you, I play with fate, I cross the line

My appointment in Samarra’s waiting I’m always on time

Love’s a Sisyphean task but I’m condemned to see it stick

Or watch all I am get buried by a rolling stone eclipse

Yeah I write for you

And you love the moon

So I stuck it on my name hoping I’d feel special too

I make nothing but mistakes, but I'll be sure to see 'em through

I'm nothing if not persistent when I'm crawling back to you
