lyrics

May you always sleep with the shadows of better men. May the blood always flow freely from your pen. May you only ever kiss when you are kissed. And may your death be soon enough that you are missed. There are vultures watching over you and they pray for a good time and that someday you will rid yourself of the ambitions in your mind. Oh. May you always be this sure of what you are. May you cut your roots and move yourself too far. May you stop offending before you have been warned. And may your death be soon enough that you are mourned. There are vultures watching over you and they pray for perfect eyes and that you'll retain the skill to tell the most believable lies. Oh. May the end come unannounced and unwelcomed. May the reaper be as cruel as he is handsome. May you remember in it every harsh word you have spoken. And may the pain last long enough that you are broken.
