Self​-​Preservation Is The Coward's Art

from Some Fates by That Dream Was Our Life

/

lyrics

Driving past your house with my eyes closed
Hands pass through the wheel like I'm a ghost
There are no mistakes, only lessons learned
The longer you hold a torch the longer that you burn

Safety & ennui are good for some
But I say if you can't get something right do something dumb
I still love you in my own simple way
I still miss you like time misses decay
And everything you thought that you would be

Self-preservation is the coward's art
But for annihilation I have no heart
Sometimes love is kicking dirt onto a fire
Until all that's left to burn is your desire
For everything you thought that you would be
