DRINK TO DEATH

((( Man # 2 )))

I went down with the Mountain
And tumbled into the ocean
I sank deep 'til I fell asleep in the sea
My mind fell asleep in me

It woke up when she said she loved me
It all came back to haunt me
I'm alive for the second time
And she's here
I knew her for less than a year

Somehow she found me once again
I now recall I watched her fall
I couldn't deal with life at all
And so I ended it for good

I thought I could
But I was wrong
I feared my life
Would be too long

The word love is a killer
I wonder if I should tell her
The last time that we fell in love I was blind
And there was darkness in humankind

I was odd with the Maker
He felt it justice to take her
In a year she was gone
And I fear that this time
Punishment will resume for my crime

I didn't mean to call Him bad
I didn't mean to make Him mad
I felt so sad that she was dead
It should have been my death instead
But she's alive a second time

And so am I
And I can't lie
She has to know
That she could die

Drink to Death
He drinks to you now

But when I tried to wake her up
After the night we drank so late
I told her of her treehouse fate
We drank so much

I never thought she'd asphyxiate
But I was wrong
We felt so sad
She drank too long

Drink to Death
He drinks to you now
