Beggars can't be choosers
Unless they opt out of the game
In rose-colored relief
Empty out a glass of my own veins
I kicked that back when self-improvement sounded oh so sound
A toast to the good old days
They'll be rats here soon if it stays this quiet
Let 'em in, let 'em stay
Let 'em in, let 'em stay
(At least something get's what it wants)
Let 'em in, let 'em stay
Let 'em in, let 'em stay
Make me the man that I was not
I've dug this grave a hundred times
The dirt, exhausted as the mind
Make me the man that I was not
Cold feet at the altar of fire
Inhale the ash until the lungs retire
Make me the man I was not
We are worlds apart
A phantom in a fossilized city
Where familiar alleys of dirt and stink hide a disposable culture
Into a vacuum of hope, we sink
Phantom pain
Phantom love in chest cavities, be gone
Move on as the teeth bite the tongue to taste what is asked for
You will get what you want
You will get what you need
Get what you deserve
Ask and you shall receive
You will get what you want
You will get what you need
Get what you deserve
You get nothing
Let us be forgotten
Let us be forgotten
Make me the man that I was not
I've dug this grave a hundred times
The dirt, exhausted as the mind
Make me the man that I was not
Cold feet at the altar of fire
Inhale the ash until the lungs retire
Make me the man I was not
We are worlds apart
Let 'em in, let 'em stay
Let 'em in, let 'em stay
(At least something gets what it wants)
'Cause the god that gives
Always takes away
(Grieve)
(Servant)
(Lesser man)
(Plead to close the hole inside)
(Betrayer of self)
The paradise we dream
Just an oasis in the abyss
I've dug this grave a hundred times
If only to not exist
In the tragedy between earth and sky
Where suffering collides
We are worlds apart
There will never be a light for the black hearts
There will never be a light for the black hearts
There will never be a light for the black hearts
There will never be a light for the black hearts
There will never be a light for the black hearts
There will never be a light for the black hearts
There will never be a light for the black hearts
(There will never be a light for the black hearts)
There will never be a light for the black hearts
(There will never be a light for the black hearts)
There will never be a light for the black hearts
