Lyrics

Sell all you own
Make your demands
Claw at the order
And bite at the hand
I tried to confide all the times I’d lied
But the truth didn’t leave much else
I tried to confide but the times I tried
Were the lies that I told myself
Nothing changes
We stay strangers
And all is calm within the beast
Vibrant tyrant
Sound the attack
Subtlety’s dead
And she’s not coming back
Say all you will when the world stood still
Now there is no excuse for it
Say all you will when the world stood still
I refused to get used to it
Warn the strangers
They’re in danger
A heavy storm is rolling in
Dirt beneath my fingernails
Scratching off the scales
Obscuring the view
That becomes the dirt beneath my fingernails
Scratching off the scales
Obscuring the view
That becomes the dirt
Painful, classless
Chaotic mess -
Addicted to me
Indifferent to the rest
Sever your ties and hide your cries
‘Til the rides at a complete stop
The look in your eyes when your pride’s disguised
Is a hard one to shake or top
End the chapter
Start anew
We can’t outlast the lucky few
Dirt beneath my fingernails
Scratching off the scales
Obscuring the view
That becomes the dirt beneath my fingernails
Scratching off the scales
Obscuring the view
That becomes the dirt
I’m not the same
As the face that’s on the poster
I can’t see the bottom
But I swear it’s getting closer
I’ve worn through all the tropes
My doubts outnumber hopes
I’ve come through to the other side
And ended on the ropes
I’m not the same
I’m not the same
I know you’re right
I know you’re right and I’m sorry
