Apathy Eulogy Hold The Ones You Love Close Lyrics

We're all giving up our lives for a rare breed of friend
hold the ones you love close
keep your jealousy closer still
keep your mind
keep your heart
keep your will
but please let me in
let me inside
I need to feel alive

it's gotta be a flame if you want to feel the burn
it's time to get lost outside, and never go back home

I need to believe
the heart on my sleeve used to be bleeding but now the blood's run dry
if you'd only be the completion of me
I agree to try

I can't offer you anything more than myself
and I'm not even sure I can offer you that I'm the closest a man can get to a disaster

some rules are made for breaking
some risks are worth the taking
don’t take more than I’m giving

but if you'd only be
the completion of me
I'd be the closest I can be to alive

to hold the affections of such as you is beyond my reach
your parents’ broken porcelain resounding heavily in your ears
don’t be a victim of them
the walls the damaged people build to hold the world at bay
this is who we are and how we’ll stay
