Death of a Friend Lyrics

If you needed the water

You could strain my blood

You could hold the knife

You could choose the cut

I won't resist

So go in for the kill

I won't even flinch

Or cause you guilt

So take what you need

What's yours is mine

The keg is tapped

And the wells run dry

I'm glad to help

That wasn't so hard

I know you know

That I've done my part

There's nothing here

There's nothing left

But I never meant for this

Scream in silence

Stuck between grief and intent

Words in wasted breath

And I can see how this ends

Is there nothing left

This suffocating guilt

Like the death of a friend

Everything we've built

Taken down in hours

The boxes packed

And stacked in towers

The forced smiles

The suppressed fears

I scratch my head

And you hide your tears

My favourite leech

My parasite

I'll keep still

Won't put up a fight

I can barely stand

But I'll keep you warm

When my time comes

I hope you mourn

There's nothing left

But I never meant for this

Scream in silence

Stuck between grief and intent

Words in wasted breath

And I can see how this ends

Is there nothing left

This suffocating guilt

Like the death of a friend

This stapled smile's come undone

This Frayed grins gone numb

Have I asked too much

What a shame you fucked up

A language lost in sentiment

Buried deep like a dead friend

But I never meant for this

Scream in silence

Stuck between grief and intent

Words in wasted breath

And I can see how this ends

Is there nothing left

This suffocating guilt

Like the death of a friend
