I Hope Cupid Chokes

They painted him in gold wings Like he was something pure But every trail he left behind Ended with a slammed door

I've seen families split wide open Seen best friends disappear Seen people lose themselves completely Chasing what they swore was real

Every arrow leaves a body Every promise leaves a mark He don't fly around spreading heaven He just hunts after dark

So tell me why they praise him Why they raise him like a king When everything he touches Ends up suffering

I hope Cupid chokes On every arrow in his throat Every lie he ever whispered Every word he ever wrote

Yeah, I hope Cupid chokes Till his wings give out and fold For every heart he led to ruin For every soul he bought and sold

Take your roses Take your halos Take your poison and just go

I hope Cupid chokes

He's got graveyards full of dreamers Buried underneath his name Rows and rows of empty people Who were never quite the same

He makes victims out of believers Makes prisoners out of trust Then watches from above laughing While everything turns to dust

The world keeps calling him an angel I call him something else A dealer selling false hope To people desperate for help

I've seen enough destruction To know exactly what he is A smiling executioner Hiding behind a kiss

I hope Cupid chokes On every arrow in his throat Every lie he ever whispered Every word he ever wrote

Yeah, I hope Cupid chokes Till his wings give out and fold For every heart he led to ruin For every soul he bought and sold

Take your roses Take your halos Take your poison and just go

I hope Cupid chokes

Let the statues crack around him Let the kingdom cave away Let the myths they built for decades Finally decay

Pull the crown down from his head Drag his legend through the dirt Let him carry every ounce Of everybody's hurt

No more saints No more saviors No more arrows from above

Just the truth

Love destroys as much as love does

I don't need another fairytale I don't need another sign If that's what people call salvation Keep it far from mine

I'd rather walk this road alone Than kneel before that ghost And if I get one final prayer

I hope Cupid chokes

I hope Cupid chokes On the wreckage that he made Every broken promise Every life that he betrayed

Yeah, I hope Cupid chokes Till there's nothing left to save And the world finally sees the monster They spent centuries trying to praise

Take your roses Take your halos Take your kingdom made of smoke

You can keep your love

I hope Cupid chokes

The devil never hid his horns.

Cupid hid them behind a smile.

I hope Cupid chokes.
