Ars Auctor — Otherwise — lyrics
I’ve been told otherwise
Otherwise i’ve been wasting all my time
I was waiting on a red bird and got a blue bird in disguise
All my friends were right
You were holding the knife
You cut me to pieces when i told you otherwise
I’m waiting for affection
Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted
Are you sure that it’s alright
Since everything feels otherwise
Otherwise you’re not sure and neither am i
The affection is already gonе with no way to revive it
Of course you kеpt those secrets
You corn fed me those lies
You were hoping that your story would be better than mine
Otherwise i know you see what i mean
You were always keeping time though you made me wait
You were checking the clock when i looked you in the eye
Feeling limp like a rabbit in the mouth of a lion
I saw that red bird tucked under your shirt and i knew that you’d try to tell me otherwise
So i decided while you were deflecting i would be defecting the grasp of your hand
I’ve waited my whole life
What i thought was ours was never really mine
The ghost in my dreams revealed everything
All the traps were set in blue red and green
Of course i knew it was too good to be true
A red bird in hand with no stones used
I am burned
I am drowned
I was buried underground
And i did it all for you
Otherwise do you see what you’ve done to me
I’m bleeding from the scars of what was never meant to be
And now i’m locked in a cage and the key is in my throat
Do i rip it out or do i let myself choke
Otherwise i remember how it feels to be alone
And i d rather take that silence than pretend that i belong
(to)do you
Resent me now that i’m telling you this
It’s about that time i call it quits
I took that red bird and plucked all its feathers
I knew it was time to tell you otherwise
I got what i wanted
The red bird absolved
But i still have the scars from the weight of what’s ours
I wasted my whole life
What i thought was ours was nothing but a lie
The ghost in my dreams was deceiving me
Resetting the traps in blue red and green
Of course i knew you felt otherwise too
A blue bird in hand with twelve stones used
I am charred
Waterlogged
With thorns growing through
And it was all for you
Otherwise
Unless told otherwise
Are you sure that it’s alright
I will wait until the end of time
Until that red bird is finally mine
