[Verse 1]

Remember when we had that picnic in the park?

We had sandwiches and cupcakes, cookies and coke.

Remember when we used our knives?

They weren't as sharp when we were in love.

When people crossed us, you took all of their drugs.

Stole their money, burned their houses down, then blamed it on me.


[Pre-Chorus]

Love is never enough to keep someone at your side.

The only way to keep someone is to tie them to your web.

We said "together forever", we were against all others.

Took a shotgun to the angels, and sent them to the sun.


[Chorus]

It was you and I against the world.

That's what we said, that's what we said.

But when the world was against me, I watched you run away.

I watched you run away.


[Verse 2]

You had the choice of anyone.

You said you chose me.

You didn't even say goodbye, you didn't give me a choice.

You filled my pockets full of corn and fed me to the pigs.

You turned your back on me, it's like you knew.

You knew what you were doing.

When you said you loved me, I had a fatal attraction.

But it turned out I was just your fatal distraction.


[Pre-Chorus]

Love is never enough to keep someone at your side.

The only way to keep someone is to tie them to your web.

We said "together forever", we were against all others.

Took a shotgun to the angels, and sent them to the sun.


[Chorus]

It was you and I against the world.

That's what we said, that's what we said.

But when the world was against me, I watched you run away.

I watched you run away.

It was you and I against the world.

That's what we said, that's what we said.

But when the world was against me, I watched you run away.

I watched you run away.


[Bridge]

I seek death, and you seek my destruction

I seek death, and you seek my destruction.

I seek death, and you seek my destruction.

I seek death, and you seek my destruction.


[Outro]

I cut myself and wine comes out.

You cut yourself just for something to whine about.

I cut myself and wine comes out.

You cut yourself just for something to whine about.

I cut myself and wine comes out.

You cut yourself just for something to whine about.

I cut myself and wine comes out.

You cut yourself just for something to whine about.

I cut myself and wine comes out.

You cut yourself just for something to whine about.

I cut myself and wine comes out.

You cut yourself just for something to whine about.

I cut myself and wine comes out.

You cut yourself just for something to whine about.

I cut myself and wine comes out.

You cut yourself just for something to whine about.

"Together is a breakup song, about a man and a woman who can't have a stable relationship no matter what because of their mental health struggles. To be honest, it's probably the most obvious track on this album."


LYRICS BREAKDOWN:

"Remember when we used our knives?

They weren't as sharp when we were in love." (The narrator and his ex both used to cut themselves out of depression, but once they met each other, they stopped feeling suicidal, as they gave each other purpose.)


"I seek death, and you seek my destruction" (After the narrator and his girlfriend broke up, all he wants is to die while all she wants is to ruin his life.)


"I cut myself and wine comes out.

You cut yourself just for something to whine about." (The narrator compares himself to Jesus in a way, stating that when he self harms, there is a purpose. Meanwhile, when she self harms, she does so for attention.)
