A gift of the past Regret compassion Reject decision There is nothing Farce of consciousness Create Create Fight the failure Freeze frame On the death scene Feed your hate Pointless ambition Like an inside joke Pointless ambition Pre-set longevity Pointless ambition Like an inside joke Pointless ambition So I’ll bite And I’ll beg And I’ll do whatever it takes Just to show how brightly I shine Just to show how brightly I shine All that passion high on a cross Oh god they got it all wrong On the death scene Feed your hate Pointless ambition Like an inside joke On the death scene Feed your hate Pointless ambition Pre-set longevity So I’ll bite And I’ll beg And I’ll do whatever it takes Just to show how brightly I shine And you’ll see how brightly I shine Feed Feed Feed Bite Beg Take Feed Feed Feed Bite Beg Take Where is your god We killed all our masters Open your eyes These hands like daggers We are the children The purest human greed Want for more time Venereal disease So I’ll bite And I’ll beg And I’ll do whatever it takes And I’ll show you how brightly I shine And I'll show you how brightly I shine And I'll show you how brightly I shine And I'll show you how brightly I shine And I'll show you how brightly I shine And I'll show you how brightly I shine

Turn your back to the burning choir Raise a glass to our holy ghosts Take a seat and try to settle down We walk a line that's never been pretty Reason hurts but hope will shut you down You can't stop what you've never known When the curtain falls All the lights break What is left will be disappointment and dismay These are not sins they are suggestions Not polite, no, not by a long shot God come on back now, this is serious Your best intentions are filled with ignorance Your best intentions are filled with ignorance I'll admit oh I'll admit I'll admit that I was wrong But darlin I ain't got the stones to dance alone What is left what is lost Look at all this love here on the walls I can't believe what we've become Like a bat out of hell Clipped my wings and I’m gone Hang me upside down Bleed me dry as a stone You know that I will always let you down There was spite in your eyes Who knew I could boil blood I'll admit I'll admit I'll admit that I was wrong But darlin I ain't got the stones to dance alone What is left what is lost Look at all this love here on the walls I can't believe what we've become I'll admit oh I'll admit I'll admit that I was wrong But darlin I ain't got the stones to dance alone What is left what is left Look at all this love here on the walls I can't believe what we've become

I can't be expected to represent this failure Learning from mistakes only gets you so far How about we come to a consensus In regards to how we should proceed This is not an admission of guilt but simply me begging For mercy For mercy in the name of progress Being apart from you sounds like heaven to me Being apart from you sounds like heaven to me Being apart from you sounds like heaven to me Being apart from you sounds like heaven to me I want to bleed liquor I want to breathe smoke I can’t, let go, this guilt It’s like watching you choke It’s like watching you choke I am not a lamb for you slaughtered I am just your captain and I am speaking up I’m not the prodigal son The death rattle of love I'm not the prodigal son The death rattle of love I never said, this ship wasn’t sinking I just said I never lost control I never said, this ship wasn't sinking I just said I never lost control

It felt like a dream At least a hundred lifetimes ago When I was young and I was full of hope I could hold my head up and I could greet the day And I could hold on to greatness Impulses die They fade away Architecture on fault lines And beds made in graves Worship ourselves Our own improvements Dead end delights Dead institutions Of greed Of greed I know it's inside of me I know it's inside of me Bury my head Bury my head in my hands Bury my head Bury my head in my hands Bury my head Bury my head in my hands Bury my head Bury my head in my hands Impulses die They fade away Architecture on fault lines And beds made in graves Worship ourselves Our own improvements Dead end delights Dead institutions Bury my head Bury my head in my hands Bury my head Bury my head in my hands Bury my head Bury my head in my hands Bury my head Bury my head in my hands When you’re forced down the wrong path You can see the blood in the soil It’s death consumes your heart Your life has found its toil I wouldn’t be who I am now Without your deceit, your clouded truth Thanks for giving me this fresh hell Thanks for killing the last of my youth This is not an admission of guilt It’s accepting what you’ve done Understanding what you built Is knowing what you’ve become I want to believe I want to believe I want to believe I want to be alive

God knows that I am not a simple man I have tried to live my life unburdened of purpose I would give I would give up a limb just to feel anything at all Oh what's it mean Oh what's it mean To have hope For this world And tomorrow I have tried my best To feel this world But I can't get close I have tried my best To heal this wound But it won't close up Where'd it go Oh where'd it go There’s no light Only greed and constant shame There is no sorrow There is no pity I am everything you wish you were Take it all back Take it back Take it all back Take it back Cold to the touch I am not here I am not there Incapable of love I am not here I am not here Cold to the touch I am not there I am not there Incapable of love I am not here I told you so I have tried my best To feel this world But I can't get close I have tried my best To heal this wound But it won't close up I tried I tried I tried But it won't close I tried I tried But it won't close up
