Vice & Virtue

With callous intentions We're all just prisoners But we think we know it all Locked behind the bars of enmity with God Exposing their splinters with eyes full of timbers But it's all a masquerade Tenacious angst that drives the lies of our crusades Cold-blooded cowards We are thieves and liars all Undeserving of relief from underneath this burning sun Our anger's betrayed us, makes us more like animals So we grab the gavel, a fistful of gravel We're not innocent We are just beggars Lost in a desert Our heads buried in the sand Still we rage and quake for things so transient We exist in a wasteland Expecting oasis But we're seething in the sun Haunted by the waters and from where they come We are no different Cold-blooded cowards We are thieves and liars all Undeserving of relief from underneath this burning sun Our anger's betrayed us, makes us more like animals So we grab the gavel, a fistful of gravel We're not innocent Fear leads to anger And anger to hate Hate makes us bitter And leads back to angst Oh, the hills we will die on Oh, the ruckus we'll make Shake our fist at our brothers Throwing stones from the shade Cold-blooded cowards We are thieves and liars all Undeserving of relief from underneath this burning sun Our anger's betrayed us, makes us more like animals So we grab the gavel, a fistful of gravel We're not innocent We're not innocent We're not innocent Cold-blooded We're not innocent
