|
Seven sins of wantonness and |
|
everything that's good is gone |
|
Sell it all for glory from the peers |
|
Silicone priestess scratch the back and |
|
twists the knife to bone |
|
Kick against the pricks and scrape the shins |
|
I'm the enemy in the enemies now |
|
Swallowed the pill |
|
Drank to the fill |
|
All these things I carry now |
|
In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now |
|
Try to hold the world there sinking, |
|
swimming in a paper cup |
|
Try to own the one beneath the skin |
|
Held up to the flame 'till singeing |
|
skin begins to draw and tuck |
|
Never told there's a chance to win |
|
What couldn't be, wouldn't be now |
|
Hold your hands up to the sky and try |
|
so hard to rise above |
|
But everything is beating down |
