Take 13 steps
Straight to the noose
You strung around
In 13 loops
I had to watch you run
(Since I was only nine)
Your stomach never full
(Your heart beat out and dried)
Can I erase your name
(Or at least disengage with mine?)
My neck still rests
(Right on your party lines)
Forget all you ever hoped to be
Honey, don't you know
All you kept isn't free?
Make it last too long
Or make it hard to take
Honey don't you see
Everything is meant to break?
Am I next?
Have I earned an older age
And a life well spent
Venerated and kept away?
Am I chasing love
I'm not worthy to pursue?
Is it stupid luck
That taught me to
Forget all you ever hoped to be
Honey, don't you know
Everything you kept ain't free?
Make it last too long
Or make it hard to take
Honey don't you see
Everything is meant to break?
We're all just meant to break
We're all just meant to break
Forget all you ever hoped to be
Honey, don't you know
All you kept isn't free?
Make it last too long
Or make it hard to take
Honey don't you see
Everything is meant to break?
(Everything is meant to break!)
We're all just meant to break
