Death For My Birthday Lyrics - Say Anything - Say Anything

Let me guide you through the story of a boy and his curse 

Tiny diamond in a stroller with his first step chasing the hearse 

Sipping at a cup that's halfway filled 

But looking forward to the day he pays that drinking bill 

There's no peace, there's no quiet on this earth 

He could find it nestled tightly in that womb beneath the dirt. 

Hurt no more when he turned twenty four 

He wrote to nail to God's front door that said 

I want death, death for my birthday 

I want death, death in the worst way 

I want death, death for my birthday 

Don't get me wrong 

'Cause I love life but life has a boyfriend 

Bless my soul, I'm out to destroy them 

I want death, death for my birthday 

For my birthday 

He found a high paying job and the love of his life 

He rode a roller coaster ride of lust on their wedding night 

They made a baby in unmentionable ways 

He was ungrateful as a man could be on that blessed day 

And underneath he thought this is all a phase 

Just a blip in the existence of a structure vast and great 

Prayed each night to his cross of charm 

For the one thing he couldn't afford, just to buy the farm 

I want death, death for my birthday 

I want death, death in the worst way 

I want death, death for my birthday 

Don't get me wrong 

'Cause I love life but life has a boyfriend 

Bless my soul, I'm out to destroy them 

I want death, death for my birthday 

For my birthday 

I'll never lose another friend again 

Or watch them start a war 

That's fought for ideals that are dead 

I'll never have an argument again 

Because my dust will be your salt 

My blood will hydrate you all 

My heart will be your meal 

And I won't ride the cycle of the way 

It kills to think and feel, no more, no 

I want death, death for my birthday 

I want death, death in the worst way 

I want death, death for my birthday 

Don't get me wrong 

'Cause I love life but life has a boyfriend 

Bless my soul, I'm out to destroy them 

I want death, death for my birthday 

For my birthday 

One sweet day his heart ceased to beat 

He fell so fast beneath all our feet 

Through bugs and snakes 

Last words he had to say were 

Help me claw my way to the surface 

Oh, sweet Lord, You know I deserve this 

Just one more, just one more birthday
