Here.

I keep waiting for my time
but it hasn't happened yet
here's to burying yourself
in someone else just to forget

So here's to all my favourites
here's to leather, plate, and chain
here's to finding out you're empty
just to fill yourself with pain

So here's to arms and armour
here's to sword and board
let's raise our glasses skyward
for each instinct we've ignored

And the smile I had this morning
by the afternoon will fade
cause I never heard the warning
you're about to be betrayed

So here's to hallelujah
and here's to all ends well
here's to drinking with your brothers
while we're stuck down here in hell

You're breaking my resolve
and I'd really like to note
that it's hard to say "I love you."
with your hands around my throat

Here's to all the ones I love
who aren't coming back
here's to every single person
who's a reason I wear black

All the dreams I had this afternoon
by eveningtime are gone
all the plans I made under the moon
evaporate at dawn

sing a pretty lullabye
and lay me down to sleep
strip me of belongings
but the tears are mine to keep

Here's to drugging myself stupid
and to my last amen
here's to hoping we don't ever come
back to this place again

So here's to hallelujah
and here's to all that's swell
here's to drinking, smoking, fucking
while I'm trapped down here in hell

Here's to all my empty words
and here's to every lie
here's to filling up with poison
and to watching myself die.
