They sway as they swarm, a look of gluttons in their eyes
They mutter as the body loses warmth
They pick your bones like locks inside a tomb
And take great care to not take care of you
Here's an unexplainable one
While I was learning to live, we all were living a lie
I guess you got what you wanted
So I will settle for a slaughterhouse soaked in blood and betrayal
It’s always somebody else…
Somebody else was me
You want the real smile?
Or the one I used to practice, not to feel like a failure?
I don’t need you to do it for me
I don’t need you to understand
I don’t need you to hide it from me
I just want to feel like any other man
I won’t show you the whole story
I won’t show you the aftermath
I won’t show you my allegory
Don’t look away…
Here's an unexplainable one
I'm not ahead of my time
I just drew the first breath
If I'm alive tomorrow
I will alleviate the pressure…
By cutting you out of me
I found my bottom line
dead on the front lines
I know I'll never go home
So set fire to your ships and past regrets and be free
I don't need you to do it for me
I don't need you to understand
I don't need you to hide it from me
I just want to feel like any other man
I won't show you the whole story
I won't show you the aftermath
I won't show you my allegory
Don't look away…
Here's an unexplainable one
What have you done?
While I was learning to live, you taught me how to die
I guess I got what I wanted
Another needle in the back through purified scarification
It wasn't somebody else
You fucking did it to me.
You want a real smile?
Today, up on this hill, I'm counting all the killers They sway as they swarm, a look of gluttons in their eyes They mutter as the body loses warmth They pick your bones like locks inside a tomb And take great care to not take care of you Here's an unexplainable one While I was learning to live, we all were living a lie I guess you got what you wanted So I will settle for a slaughterhouse soaked in blood and betrayal It’s always somebody else… Somebody else was me You want the real smile? Or the one I used to practice, not to feel like a failure? I don’t need you to do it for me I don’t need you to understand I don’t need you to hide it from me I just want to feel like any other man I won’t show you the whole story I won’t show you the aftermath I won’t show you my allegory Don’t look away… Here's an unexplainable one I'm not ahead of my time I just drew the first breath If I'm alive tomorrow I will alleviate the pressure… By cutting you out of me I found my bottom line dead on the front lines I know I'll never go home So set fire to your ships and past regrets and be free I don't need you to do it for me I don't need you to understand I don't need you to hide it from me I just want to feel like any other man I won't show you the whole story I won't show you the aftermath I won't show you my allegory Don't look away… Here's an unexplainable one What have you done? While I was learning to live, you taught me how to die I guess I got what I wanted Another needle in the back through purified scarification It wasn't somebody else You fucking did it to me. You want a real smile? Explain Request ×
