Million Dollar Houses
Pierce the Veil Lyrics

So what if I was just a painter
I may not be rich or famous, but what if all I have to offer is my art?

Painting houses on the rich blue coast?
I may not have completed a major masterpiece, but at least I have a canvas.

Would you ever try to leave me
Would you still be with me if I couldn't give you the world?

For somebody who deserves you most?
Would you ever leave me for someone who has more to offer?

'Cause darling I am just a painter
I don't have much, but I offer what I have.

I'm painting houses for the rich old folks
Though I paint expensive homes for old people, my real value is in my art.

I'm gonna make a million dollars
As an artist, I may not be financially rich, but I have enough to provide for you.

'Cause nobody's gonna steal you, no
You are safe with me, and nobody can take you away.

For diamonds and gold
I offer you my heart and my love, not material possessions.

'Cause I've broken bones for you, and for you only
I have been hurt and injured for you, and only you.

I make money but we just can't keep this home
Though I can provide financially, our relationship and love is not enough to keep a home together.

Give me your heart and your hand and we can run
I don't need your money or possessions, just your love and your companionship and we can run away together.

She's like a bullet through an ocean
Your love is like a powerful force for me.

I still remember how you moved so slow
I remember every detail of how you moved and how it made me feel.

You tried to kill me with a shotgun
You tried to kill me and end our relationship.

Bang! Now we're even
Now we are equal after you tried to hurt me.

We don't stop till someone's bleeding
Our relationship has turned into a power struggle where each of us wants to be the dominant one.

Permanently yours
I promise to always love and cherish you completely.

Sometimes the moon looks brighter than the sun
Sometimes it's the things we don't expect that surprise us the most.

As times like this run up my wrist
During difficult moments, I feel it deep in my soul.

She hates all of the guts and blood
You hate seeing the harsh reality of life and the world.

Splash around with me while we move like flames on burning sheets
Let's let go of our worries and fears and embrace our passion together.

And your doctor won't stop calling me her medication
Your love is the only thing that can heal me completely.

But baby no, sometimes things don't work out the way we planned
Sometimes, life takes unexpected turns, and things don't go the way we thought they would.

To live is just to fall asleep
Life can feel like a never-ending cycle, like a dream from which we never wake.

To die is to awaken
Death is a new beginning, an awakening to something beyond this world.

Maybe we're meant to lose the ones we love
Perhaps, in the end, we all lose the ones we love, but the memories of our time together continue on.

But I'll fight for you till then
Until that time, I will fight for us and our love.

And if they stole you from me,
Even if someone takes you away from me, my love for you will remain strong.

On my arm there's a tattoo of your name
Your love is so strong that it has become a part of me, like a permanent tattoo on my skin.

I make money, but fuck money we want love
Money is not important, love is all that matters to us.
