Drinking With Cupid

[Verse 1]
Cheap bar
Cracked halo on the wall
He’s late
Then he stumbles in
Red jacket
Lipstick on his chin
Says
“You too? She left?” and pours it all
[Chorus]
I’m drinking with Cupid
He’s crying in his cup
Says
“I aimed at forever and still messed it up”
We toast to the endings
To promises burned
To every wrong lesson we never quite learned
[Verse 2]
He laughs
Pulls an arrow from his sleeve
Bent tip
Feathers all torn
Says
“This one was yours
From the day you were born”
Then snaps it in half like he don’t believe
[Chorus]
I’m drinking with Cupid
He’s drowning in his shame
Keeps carving apologies into the frame
We toast to the endings
To bridges we burned
To every late-night call that never got returned
[Bridge]
[Band shifts
Riffs grow darker
Tempo surges]
He slams his glass
Eyes go black
Wings catch fire
Room goes slack
“Love is a grave
” he growls through his teeth
“Every vow just flowers for the wreath”
[Chorus]
I’m drinking with Cupid
We’re howling at the moon
Bar turns to a furnace
Feels over too soon
We toast to the endings
To hearts we misused
To every quiet “stay” that came out as “I’m through”
[Outro]
[Guitars drop into chugging
Double-kick fury]
He screams
“Let it die!” as the bottles all shake
I roar back
“Let it rot! Let it rot for our sake!” (yeah)
Two gods of regret in a funeral light
Just me and broke Cupid
Putting love to the bite

funk, Male vocals over a sly funk groove that slowly mutates into heavier, distorted territory; clean guitars and rubbery bass in the verses, tight drums with syncopated ghost notes. Chorus thickens with horn stabs and gang shouts. Final section erupts into death-metal-influenced double-kick, down-tuned riffing, and raspy layered screams, then a sharp cut ending on a held feedback note., death metal, metal
