Misery Relapse
I speak these words With a serpents tongue Like the iron lung I'm confined to this I shed my skin with a sirens kiss Our mouths closed tight Oh my friend, the guillotine Has the harshest bite But when she's right I should of packed my bags left my head behind Cause these thoughts are what keep me up at night I've got this hell to pay but my pockets have been emptied Oh, I've sang the blues till I was blue in the face As I delve to new depths Indebted to each and every breath Hearts on fire Sparks fly from my mouth As Dreams expire I'm handed my ticket out These old bones still move SongtexteSo I'll sing my discontent Until my lungs collapse Break through these concrete hearts This idea holds no ghost It's so easy to drown with this weight at your feet Hearts on fire Sparks fly from my mouth As Dreams expire I'm handed my ticket out These old bones still move So I'll sing my discontent Until my lungs collapse (Hearts on fire) With heavy hands and a heavy heart I knew the words but not how to start So I built my bridge over a lake of fire So when i fell the crowd could admire With no urgency in our glare we found ourselves collapsing into old habits Dancing with depression and pulling flesh from the bone May my heartache be your home And one by one we'll fall from this cliff Waiting our turn just because there's a line Living life between these blackouts oh, how the cockroaches scatter from the light (With our Hearts on fire) Aus Songtexte Mania
