Death For My Birthday - Say Anything

Let me guide you through the story of a boy and his curse
Tiny diamond in a stroller
with his first step chasing the hearse
Sipping from a cup that's half-way filled
Been looking forward to the day he pays that drinking bill
There's no peace
there's no quiet on this earth
He can finally nestle tightly in
that womb beneath the dirt
Hurt no more, and when he turned 24
He wrote a note to nail to god's front door that said:

I want death
Death for my birthday
I want death
Death in the worst way
I want death
Death for my birthday
Don't get me wrong cause
I love life
But life has a boyfriend
Bless my soul
I'm out to destroy them
I want death
Death for my birthday
For my birthday

Found a highpaying job,
and the love of his life
He rode a rollercoaster ride
of lust on their wedding night
They made a baby in unmentionable ways
He was ungrateful as a man
could be on that blessed day

And underneath he thought 'This is all a phase'
Just a blip in the existance
of a structure, vast and Great
Pray each night to his cross of a charm
for the one thing he couldn't afford, just to buy the farm

I want death
Death for my birthday
I want death
Death in the worst way
I want death
Death for my birthday
Don't get me wrong cause
I love life
But life has a boyfriend
Bless my soul
I'm out to destroy them
I want death
Death for my birthday
For my birthday

Never lose another friend, again
Watch them start a war that's fought
for ideals that are dead
Never have an arguement again
Because my dust will be your salt
My blood will hydrate you all
My heart will be your meal
And I won't ride the cycle of the way
it kills to think and feel, no more, no.

I want death
Death for my birthday
I want death
Death in the worst way
I want death
Death for my birthday
Don't get me wrong cause
I love life
But life has a boyfriend
Bless my soul
I'm out to destroy them
I want death
Death for my birthday
For my birthday

One sweet day, his heart ceased to beat
he fell so fast beneath all our feet
Through bugs and snakes,
the last words he had to say were:

"Help me claw away to the surface
Oh sweet lord you know I deserve this
Just one more, just one more birthday..."
