Behave Lyrics by Social Repose

Empress - EP

2017

[Verse 1]
When I look into your eyes
All I see in you is me
A perfect portrait stands there
Holding on so desperately
I don't care what you think
I don't mind where you'll go
But I hope you know the weight
Has broke my back, it's starting to show

I saw no ghost
There was no death
But on the day you left
You whimpered out your dying breath

I saw your sickness
I am the witness
Need to amputate the curse
Before it gets worse

[Pre-Chorus]
Live or die
Either is fine
You're dying slow
I hope you know

[Chorus]
It's just so hard to say goodbye
I held a funeral in my mind
Cause on that the day I saw you died
I don't care if you're still alive
It all just happened in my mind
Forced myself to leave you behind
Maybe I need some time
To remove my reflection from your eyes

[Verse 2]
A chariot
Dressed in black
I'll read your parting hymns
There's no turning back
I'll make you cry
But a little lost love is a love not meant to be
I'm a lone survivor or the only one that didn't flee

[Verse 3]
Carry out your casket
I didn't ask yet if it's appropriate to pretend we haven't met yet
Continue grieving
You're leaving
There's a thousand ways to say goodbye but I'm the one still breathing

[Pre-Chorus]
Live or die
Either is fine
You're dying slow
I hope you know

[Chorus]
It's just so hard to say goodbye
I held a funeral in my mind
Cause on that the day I saw you died
I don't care if you're still alive
It all just happened in my mind
Forced myself to leave you behind
Maybe I need some time
To remove my reflection from your eyes

[Bridge]
You propose if we put both our heads together
Pull the trigger
Bleed into me
In hopes that at least
You'll be the last thing that keeps me
From forgetting completely
But I'll protest
You caused this mess
I need to defeat you
Before I become you
With a melancholy stare
Emotions stripped bare
You've dug your grave
Now lay down and behave

Lay down and behave

[Chorus]
It's just so hard to say goodbye
I held a funeral in my mind
Cause on that the day I saw you died
I don't care if you're still alive
It just happened in my mind (Lay down and behave)
Forced myself to leave you behind
Maybe I need some time (Lay down and behave)
To remove my reflection from your eyes

[Outro]
Lay down and behave
Lay down and behave
Lay down and behave
Lay down in your grave
