I The Mighty - Friends [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

You left the room
And all my senses left with you
And now my body's just a place for blood

If I could taste
Then I'd be shaking in my place
Just at the thought of what your lips taste of

Oh, you love to string me along
And I know it
But resistance always lingers on my tongue
You're afraid you'll never belong
And I say it
But it's always tongue in cheek
I choose all the right words but the words work against me

Take my pride but you'll never take all my friends
Take my life and you'll never feel whole again
But if you're gonna make empty threats
Then how dare you?
If the thought of an absent God doesn't scare you...
If you want me to hold my breath while you carry on
Then come on!

I must admit
There was a time when you were it
You had my body, had my soul, my love

But how we switched...
I cracked the code, I scratched the itch
And you're aware the spell is wearing off

You no longer string me along
And you know it
Bet it eats away at that confidence you feign
From afar I fell for it all
But close up it comes off trite and cheap
You could take it all off and I'd still keep my mind clean

Take my pride but you'll never take all my friends
Take my life and you'll never feel whole again
But if you're gonna make empty threats
Then how dare you?
If the thought of an absent God doesn't scare you...
If you want me to hold my breath while you carry on
Then come on!

[Verse 3: Max Bemis]
I've got this medicine in my head
Every day it secretes and tells me what I should have said
So I live in dread...
That every thought that I vocalize should be silence instead

I've got this notebook that begs for love
I hear it screaming:
"Come on boy, fill me like that whiskey cup!"
So I ripped him up...
Then I poured out a sip in remembrance of my paper-cuts

I've got this painting that looks just like you
I'm sure the one who laid brush to canvas simply had no clue
Of the damage they'd do
With every look that I give, it burns
Let it burn!

Take my pride but you'll never take all my friends
Take my life and you'll never feel whole again
But if you're gonna make empty threats
Then how dare you?
If the thought of an absent God doesn't scare you...
If you want me to hold my breath while you carry on
Then come on! (Woah)
Then come on! (Woah)
Then come on!
Oh come on!
