lyrics

I remember it well
The hunt itself
Through tall grass,
In dull heat
Your scent is sweet

You're on your way down
Well on your way down

Iron sight bride
You are mine
My pride
And no one else's
I'll hold my breath
watch it end
With elegance, your head shall sit

You're on your way down
Well on your way down

Tried to find your peace
With your head below the water
And you held this truth like weight around your shoulders
But no, I couldn't hold you down
Like you wanted me to
I couldn't hold you down
Like I should have

I should have let you live and die
in someone else's arms
But here I sit
In selfishness
Your life, your love
The both you'd give

You're on your way down
Well on your way down

On my wall
We still don't talk
Collecting dust
I'm losing us

Just play dead
Then you can run
