Breathe it in, the poison
Let it let me slip away
Cull the darkness growing within
I don’t mind the bitter taste

Spit it out, the venom
As I drift under the tide
Let the madness gain momentum
In the corners of my mind

In this life, I’m a revenant
Scattered ashes on the dunes
You’re the picture perfect person
In this ambient folie à deux

Why should I try?
Why should I care?
I’ve wandered this lonely road so long
When you said you’d always be there

PRE-CHORUS:
So, shape me, mold me
Shift back the sands of time
Deny me, even mock me
From the top of the hill I must climb

CHORUS:
How nice it must feel
To be unbroken
To be unburdened, to be healed
How nice it must feel
To be happy
To be thankful, to be fulfilled
How nice it must be
To be free from insanity
To be drunk on dignity
To be off the edge rising gracefully
How nice it must be
To be you
Instead of me

Come with me, the distance
Beyond these shallow tears I’ve cried
Into the wicked tresses
Where a part of me has died

I’m withering away, like roses
Collect my petals off the stones
Retrace your love as it decomposes
Inside my aching bones

(PRE-CHORUS, CHORUS)

How nice it must feel
To be unburdened by the memory
Of those who left you behind
How nice it must feel
To be fulfilled by the promise
That tomorrow will bring you back to life
And you’ll rise, rise, rise
Against the embers of the night
As the dawn renews the morning light
One last time

(CHORUS)

How nice it must feel
To be happy
To be free from hostility
To fall off the edge and glide down gracefully

How nice it must be
To be loved
To never know what it’s like
To know that you’ll never be enough
