Death
Apartment 26 Lyrics

I love the sound of your tears
I enjoy hearing you cry and being emotionally unstable

I can't listen anymore
I can no longer tolerate hearing your pain and suffering

Are you choking on your words?
Are you finding it difficult to express yourself verbally due to your distress?

He never got on his knee
He never proposed to you in the traditional way

If one little push is all it took
If a small amount of force or encouragement could make a difference

Maybe one would help to realize
Perhaps a push would aid in recognizing the gravity of the situation

You're the edge on which I live
I thrive on living dangerously, keeping myself on the brink of despair

I stare but I see nothing
I am mentally detached and unresponsive to my surroundings

You're not here to guide me
You are not present to provide direction or advice

Can't break the flow - one more push
I cannot disrupt the cycle of toxic behavior without a final moment of aggression

Give it to me
Give me what I want, regardless of how it may harm you

You should know that I'll take more from you
You should be prepared to give me everything I require, even beyond what you have already sacrificed

Give in to me
Abandon your resistance and comply with my wishes

You should hope that I will not cut you out
You should pray that I do not reject or abandon you completely

Take one last look at me and tell me I change
Reflect on who I was in the past and recognize how I have altered since then

Or just give in to temptations around me
Alternatively, indulge in risky or harmful behavior under my influence and coercion

Maybe when I come back I'll be known a little more
Perhaps my absence will allow me to become better known or well-regarded

But then I could be known less
Alternatively, my absence may result in me becoming more obscure or unrecognized

Misconceptions made me
My distorted perceptions have shaped me into the person I am today

Sounds are not so clear
My senses are impaired and my perception is clouded

Distortion making clearer
Ironically, the chaos and confusion around me provide clarity and insight

(hounded/handed) out kisses
I give affection inconsistently and sometimes in a forceful or unwanted manner

Slow it down, but make it faster
I seek to slow down time and savor experiences, while simultaneously craving more intensity and excitement

Finish up the beginning
Complete what was started, and bring closure to unresolved issues from the past

Shine the light on my shadow
Expose my innermost faults and misdeeds to the world, and force me to confront them

Relaxation techniques
Practices or exercises used to reduce stress, anxiety or physical tension

Pointing at an arrow
Directing attention towards a specific goal or objective

Reach out your arms to be held
Extend yourself emotionally and seek comfort or support from others

Stretch out your mouth to be loved
Yearn to be loved and accepted, to be recognized as worthy of affection

Chorus
Refrain lyrics, repeating the message and theme of the song
