Armistice in the Body - Epithet Lyrics

For a moment you thought you'd found yourself something beautiful
But then you saw her in the wrong light and suddenly
You didn't want her anymore
You're not happy but you've always been good at playing pretend
Searching for an apartment comfortable enough to die in
Once you've lost your kids, and

Laid over you is the smell of smoke
That wide-eyed child they once knew is gone
The world chewed a hole through you
The world had chewed the grace out of you

Is it worse on my part alone
Does it matter

I feel it in the right way
I don't mind learning from your mistakes
So I'll write your wrongs
I swear I'll be better than you were to me

Fighting for control is not love
Neglect and jealousy is not love
That's not love
That's not love
Fighting for control is not love
Neglect and jealousy is not love
That's not love
That's not love
Fighting for control is not love
Neglect and jealousy is not love

Is it worse on my part alone
How it shatters

I feel it in the worst way
I'll find my way out of this water somehow
By drowning me, you taught me to swim
And I'll always be thankful for that

Oh, you are not my father and you never were
