Pyre Lyrics

Call it a draw on the attack

But I won the defense

I refused to yield

Relent or give in

Dispelled all the prayers

Believed were heaven-sent

Disposed without care

The thought I'd need them again

And I'm better now, than when

I'm at my worst

Still, their hushed tones always speak

Louder than words

Don't bother, don't bother

That's the tether I keep

To anchor me to

This land of famine and greed

Though lust's what I want

It's not my heart's desire

Too bad that died long ago atop

The rest of the pyre

Go ahead and take your place

Among those who came before

The ones I couldn't replace

Really though, who's keeping score

You bit my lip

And cut me deep

As I poured myself out

Into the street

And as I floated away

Down the stream

In the moonlight there

I saw you gleam

But don't bother, don't bother

That's the tether I keep

To anchor me to

This land of famine and greed

Though lust's what I want

It's not my heart's desire

Too bad that died long ago atop

The rest of the pyre

So don't bother, don't bother

That's the tether I keep

To anchor me to

This land of famine and greed

Though lust's what I want

It's not my heart's desire

Too bad that died atop

The rest of the pyre

Don't bother, don't bother

That's the tether I keep

To anchor me to

This land of famine and greed

Though lust's what I want

It's not my heart's desire

Too bad that died long ago atop

The rest of the pyre
