lyrics

All these demons in my brain, sometimes they cause me so much pain I cannot think or move or dare to speak a sound. If you held a mirror to me and made me tell you what I see, I'd breath fire on that tree straight to the ground.

If all the debts we are born into do not need to be repaid, just tear them up and take my hand and tell me, would you run away? And if I had to guess, I'd say the answer would be yes, so take the leap with me, let's drop this whole charade!

When I was born I started dying, tightrope walked along the knife. But what else was I supposed to do with this short and pointless life? All my savings in my lungs, and the future's just a rail, it's dragging me to Hell and back and I could scream to no avail. If you stare into abyss, you might find it staring back, and as you snap back to your senses, find yourself tied to the track as the engine barrels down. Steam and jagged steel frown! And at the footsteps in the hall, your heart attacks.

Put me away, I've had enough. I just need some time to rest my head, collect these scattered thoughts. I'm down and out, don't pick me up, just let me drown in this stuff, because sinking with the ship's not giving up.

It's a good thing love is blind, cos it can be so ugly too. It may take more than you could bear to give. With these headlights in my eyes, and my tail between my legs, no one will ever know how this man lived. And if I could walk through walls, or on water as on stone, it would be clear that this can't go on forever, so it won't. So I just wanna see it burn, turn the earth into inferno, cos this stomach churning life is becoming home.

Put me away, I've had enough. I just need some time to rest my head, collect these scattered thoughts. I'm down and out, don't pick me up, just let me drown in this stuff, because sinking with the ship's not giving up.

EXPOSED
DECAYED
When this world turns to dust, we'll rebuild it all in our own way.

IMPOSED
BETRAYED
When this world is in ash, we'll rebuild it all in our own way.
