Say Anything - Death For My Birthday lyrics

Let me guide you through the story
Of a boy and his curse
Tiny diamond in his stroller with his
First step chasing the hearse
Sippin' at a cup that's half way filled
But looking forward to the day
He pays that drinking bill

There's no peace
There's no quiet on this earth he confided
Nestled 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 the high paying job and
The love of his life
He rode a roller coaster 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 existence 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

I'll never lose another friend again
Or watch them start a war that's
Fought for ideals that are dead
I'll never have an argument again

Because my dust will be your salt
My blood will hydrate you off
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
Last words he had to say were

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