ocarth - staring down lyrics

[part 1: staring down]
[verse 1]
my life’s been flashing before my eyes for years
when death comes, i hope he finds me alive
the guys found a corpse up and over here
just give them the right to take what’s mine
liberate what’s free, let them take from me
if they say it’s what i’d want
bury me, change me
even though you know it’s not

[chorus]
this can’t be how it ends
strapped up to what’s made me sane
anymore
destroy the world
and take what’s yours
as i’m staring down
the barrel of your gun
(destroy the world)
(and take what’s yours)
(as i’m staring down)
(the barrel of your gun)

[verse 2]
as the prophecy foretold
the sun has come down
to k!ll all of you
“what’d we do for this”
i’ll tell you, not amiss
nothing you’d remember
(home again)
(and i’d rather be anywhere else)
[chorus]
this can’t be how it ends
strapped up to what’s made me sane
anymore
destroy the world
and take what’s yours
as i’m staring down
the barrel of your gun
(destroy the world)
(and take what’s yours)
(as i’m staring down)
(the barrel of your gun)

[part 2: fällt aus]
[verse]
if i’m the pig that i am
would you hold me up to see the stars?
sometimes i wonder
what it is that i bring for you
wasted my youth
looking for something to do with it
seeing everyone
as myself with the hang of it
sometimes i wonder
what it feels like to be alive
in your own body
home is where the heart is
(your arms in the backseat)
home is where the heat is
(your hands in the backseat)
home is where i want to be
(your body in the backseat)
home is nowhere i know
(laughing along to what i say)

home is where the house is
(your arms in the backseat)
home is where the moon+white house is
(your hands in the backseat)
home is where i want to be
(your body in the backseat)
home is nowhere i know
(laughing along to what i say)

[part 3: red & white]
[verse]
reaching out to grab
whatever’s there
pulling it close
not thinking to share
red wine and apple juice
filling the air
i don’t want to stay
this can’t be it
(this can’t be right)
looking through the window
flashing red and white
if god wanted me to stay
i’d be alright
[interlude]
mother, will you lay me gently into the earth again?
where the worms will bore into my head
and see your lurid smile?

and those who came of me
though they see no of my body
will see the wilt in the flowers outside their home

and love me as i lay
no more potent than that of yours
i’ll look up and see a world
better off than before
outside the blooming bodies above
i’ll miss nothing more
dried+up mound above the ground
i’ll learn to love you from afar

[part 4: october]
[verse]
i can see everyone i know outside my window
they can’t see me
they’ve left me barren
they know where i come from
but still i
am left weak
i’ll lie to you
say you need me too
i’ll suck you dry
to be happy
i’ll break into your home
make it my own
kick you out
stare at my feet
this is where i want to be
if i didn’t i’d change
don’t fall…
for me?
full of rocks and dust
don’t go
my prized turkey
heavy eyes, saddened lines
when death comes
i’ll have done his job for him
touch me, love me
make me feel like someone else
all the while i can only think of him

[instrumental break]

[refrain]
someday, max
you’ll tell me everything
and i’ll say i love you even more
but frankly
i’ll be disgusted

[outro]
the tile floor is cold under your bare feet
the cold of the sink
sinks up through your palms
you pull down the bottom of one eyelid
you accuse your reflection, saying
“this never happened”

as the woman you murdered
shifts in her sleep in the next room, smiling
angrily, you think
“at least one of us can smile”
“at least one of us can sleep”

you have seen it all before
you have heard it all before
you have been here before
but still
the exit is no easier to find
