The Acacia Strain – One Thousand Painful Stings lyrics

(feat. Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox)

[Intro: Vincent Bennett]
We've become scared of death
I've done it a million times
I fucking prayed that I would
How many times have I died?
We set the world on fire with a touch
I never thought I could love too much

[Verse 1: Vincent Bennett]
The universe is teeming with life
But we have slipped free of its grip
There is nothing but us
We are alone
Struggling to survive
When we are too far gone
The future is useless
The past is a different existence

[Chorus: Vincent Bennett]
We have given ourselves an eternity of nothing
Infinite stretching and arching to nowhere
We called, no one answered
Total fucking failures

[Verse 2: Vincent Bennett]
Obliterated, removed from existence (From existence)
Aggravated (Aggravated)
With the way that we've been living
Concentrating on bringing about change
Masturbating
We wiped away the human race

[Chorus: Vincent Bennett]
We have given ourselves an eternity of nothing
Infinite stretching and arching to nowhere
We called, no one answered
Total fucking failures
We called, no one answered
Total fucking failures

[Bridge: Vincent Bennett]
We tried to claw into Heaven but we fell into Hell
Charade
You will feel no pain
Extinct
Head back into a dreamless sleep
Misery

[Outro: Courtney Laplante]
Dark sun
Light cracks in the well
We clawed into Heaven, we fell into Hell
Dark sun (Dark sun)
Light cracks in the well (Light cracks in the well)
We clawed into Heaven, we fell into Hell
Dark sun (Dark sun)
Light cracks in the well (Light cracks in the well)
We clawed into Heaven, we fell into Hell
