We, we wanna swim the deepest depths of oblivion
We wanna know that the gods have us in control
We see the cards and we go to fold
We play along but it soon grows old (grows old)
They took the Ark and sold it all for parts
They've got a fist full of f*cking gold
A return on the souls they sold (souls they sold)
Do you remember who we are?
These tyrants will build an abyss
But the rest of us wish to exist (exist)
We're hiding like a shadow in the dark, in the dark
Be the change that you wanna see (no, not like that)
It's a risk we can all agree (f*ck the f*cking facts)
But it bleeds right in front of me (we're under attack)
Yeah, we all know that these rights are holy
We see the cards and we go to fold
We play along but it soon grows old (soon grows old)
They took the Ark and sold it all for parts
They've got a fist full of f*cking gold
A return on the souls they sold (souls they sold)
Do you remember who we are?
These tyrants will build an abyss
But the rest of us wish to exist (wish to exist)
We're hiding like a shadow in the dark
We're never gonna leave this shell
Let's hope your gold don't fail you now
Save us a special place in hell
You're the reason that our hearts ache, deep fake
(We are one and the f*cking same)
We see the cards and we go to fold
We play along but it soon grows old (soon grows old)
We took the Ark and sold it all for parts
They've got a fist full of f*cking gold
A return on the souls they sold (souls they sold)
Do you remember who we are?
These tyrants will build an abyss
But the rest of us wish to exist (wish to exist)
We're fighting with a shadow in the dark
Deep fake

tear gas
Never afraid to be despicable, no
Stood at the brink and you're still looking for the last laugh
You're only crying from the tear gas
Somebody turn us inside out
Maybe you think that I'm too cynical, yeah
Freezing to death stood in the shadow of an avalanche
Are you looking at the hourglass?
It's do or die
Any other time than now, any other time than now
Just one life
I guess you're gonna go to hell, guess you're gonna go to hell
Tell a lie
Anything is possible, we could be unstoppable
Be less than no one to me, just leave me in the mercy seat
Surely this ain't the f*cking pinnacle? No
These modern saints would have us writing our own epitaph
Well we knew that it would never last
Somebody turn us inside out (inside out, inside out, inside out)
There's nothing left of ourselves that we won't sell
Do or die
Any other time than now, any other time than now
Just one life
I guess you're gonna go to hell, guess you're gonna go to hell
Tell a lie
Anything is possible, we could be unstoppable
Be less than no one to me, just leave me in the mercy seat
(We are well aware)
No one can stand without a spine
(But if we never dare)
We'll only flatten out the line, oh
(We are well aware)
No one can stand without a spine
(But if we never dare)
We'll only flatten out the line
Do or die
Any other time than now, any other time than now
Just one life
I guess you're gonna go to hell, guess you're gonna go to hell
Tell a lie
Anything is possible, we could be unstoppable
Be less than no one to me, just leave me in the mercy seat
(We are well aware)
No one can stand without a spine
(But if we never dare)
We'll only flatten out the line

Spit the Bone
Now we're all cannibals
Say this will all be temporary
Even the mark by my name
The flames are all imaginary
Just be happy there's slack in the chain
We must be extraordinary
Watch who you're worshipping
'Cause we've been feeding
Swallowing a hand grenade
We won't let the bleeding stop
It's holier below me
We all play dead
But everybody knows one halo
Beneath the payload
We had it all
Now we're all cannibals
Now we're all cannibals
I'm more than just a mercenary
There's always a shake to my aim
Pray it was all imaginary
Were we banking those ill-gotten gains?
We must be extraordinary
Watch who you're worshipping
'Cause we've been feeding
Swallowing a hand grenade
We won't let the bleeding stop
It's holier below me
We all play dead
But everybody knows one halo
Beneath the payload
We had it all
Now we're all cannibals
If you're gonna burn that bridge
Then you'd better learn to paddle
But I bet you don't, I saw you when you burnt the boat
Read my lips, if you're deafened by the rattle
If you chew it up
Don't forget to spit the bone
Spit the bone
Don't forget to spit
If you're gonna burn that bridge
Then you'd better learn to paddle
But I bet you don't, I saw you when you burnt the boat
Read my lips, if you're deafened by the rattle
If you chew it up
Don't forget to spit the bone
We all play dead
But everybody knows one halo
Beneath the payload
We had it all
But now it's holier below me
We all play dead
But everybody knows one halo
Beneath the payload
We had it all
Now we're all cannibals
Say this will all be temporary

burn down my house
Burn down my house
I'll blame myself and no one else
Heart in my mouth
Always in doubt about my health
Burn down my house
I'll blame myself and no one else
Heart in my mouth
Never in doubt
Your love will leave me lonely
Repeating, "Oh, if only"
I'm sorry, I'm broke from all the time I spent
Driving myself 'round the bend
Drifting like I'm oil in water
I swear I'm okay
Just hear the words I don't say
I'm sorry the thoughts that I don't apprehend
Tell me there's no happy end
I'm drifting like I'm oil in water
Burn down my house
I'll blame myself and no one else
Heart in my mouth
Never in doubt
Your love will leave me lonely
Repeating, "Oh, if only"
I'm sorry, I'm broke from all the time I spent
Driving myself 'round the bend
Drifting like I'm oil in water
I swear I'm okay
Just hear the words I don't say
I'm sorry the thoughts that I don't apprehend
Tell me there's no happy end
I'm drifting like I'm oil in water
Burn down my house

Always in doubt about my health
I'll blame myself and no one else
Heart in my mouth
Always in doubt about my health
Burn down my house
I'll blame myself and no one else
Heart in my mouth
Never in doubt

living is killing us
Bite my hand (my hand)
Nothing of worth is ever coming to you (coming to you)
Fall into error and swim the sands (swim the sands)
Breathe through the dirt
Repeat your own point of view
We can learn to stand in no man's land (no man's land)
We fell in love with a death machine (death machine)
Too much will never be enough (be enough)
Push comes to shove but it's heresy just to be
Living is killing us
Living is killing us (is killing us)
Take the stand (take the stand)
God knows that there is nothing else you can do (else you can do)
Weaker together
A firebrand (firebrand)
Another rebel that'll split us in two
We're burning down a holy land
We fell in love with a death machine (death machine)
Too much will never be enough (be enough)
Push comes to shove but it's heresy just to be
Living is killing us
We built a home on a battleground
Misfortunes never come alone
Come quick, we've gotta turn this ship around
F*ck it, I'll do it on my own
We built a home on a battleground
Misfortunes never come alone
Come quick, we've gotta turn this ship around
F*ck it, f*ck it, I'll do it on my own

when we were young
Oh
One, two, three, four
We're separated by a margin of a greater degree
The same flesh and blood but in a different lane
I read the remedy too, but my words
They still sounded the same
When we were young
We thought we had the whole world figured out (figured out)
Now all we do is speak in tongues (speak in tongues)
We play a losing game
Only now we hear the shouts fading out
We flew into the sun
Oh
We flew into the sun
I'm dedicated to the shadow that's been following me
It caught me counting the cards, I guess the rules remain
Oh, it was heavenly then
But the devil's were calling my name
When we were young
We thought we had the whole world figured out (figured out)
Now all we do is speak in tongues (speak in tongues)
We play a losing game
Only now we hear the shouts fading out
We flew into the sun
Is there something in your eye?
Did you fall or were you just on a high?
Everybody's so afraid they could die
But they never once said
Thank god we're alive, oh
Is there something in your eye?
Did you fall or were you just on a high?
Everybody's so afraid they could die

Thank god we're alive

doomscrolling
No betting on tomorrow
But we all love a tragedy
Come drown in our sorrow
And see the world as it oughta be
Delete another day
Doomscrolling, sat beneath my shadow
Keep loading, nothing here is hallowed, oh
Come see the world as it oughta be (come see the world as it oughta be)
Delete another day
This path is growing kinda narrow
With rotten roses all the way
No guarantees it'll carry me
Nobody ordered me to swallow
I wanna know are we the bow or the arrow?
Go take a dive where the waters are shallow
We can swim the undertow
Swim the undertow
Swim the undertow
No betting on tomorrow
But we all love a tragedy (but we all love a tragedy)
Come drown in our sorrow
And see the world as it oughta be (and see the world as it oughta be)

We saw the flaw right from the get-go (get-go)
Who knew the hell we had to pay? (Pay)
We like to please 'cause we're devotees
Hopefully God is at the gallows
I wanna know are we the bow or the arrow?
Go take a dive where the waters are shallow
We can swim the undertow
Swim the undertow

God save our souls
Let's take the flame and hold it closer to the fuse
We're well aware that we've got everything to lose
We're singing, "We don't wanna know"
"We don't wanna know, we don't wanna know"
We kick the habit then we let the fire loose

born again pessimist
I took an easy ride
So the world could pretend that I'm superior (pretend that I'm superior)
You'd have an honest man
If you took the time to wire up my jaw (wire up my jaw)
I fell asleep in the backseat
F*ck, it was so sweet
I ran a red like I saw a matador, yeah
The sun might melt
Whilst you wait for my arteries to thaw (my arteries to thaw)
I'm taking you to war
I'm taking you to war
I'm never gonna spill my guts
It feels like death by a thousand cuts
So when the here and now holds me down
I fall apart
I don't wanna talk too much
I'm never gonna stop yeah, I love this crutch
So if I kiss the ground, don't look 'round
God bless my big empty heart
I'll only lose my head if I stand too close to hysteria
And if it took your breath
Then I'm betting that I focused on the flaw
So go and set me in concrete, I'm just a deadbeat
You always said I'm the wolf that's at your door
I would drown myself
But the thirst would have me coming back for more
I'm never gonna spill my guts
It feels like death by a thousand cuts
So when the here and now holds me down
I fall apart
I don't wanna talk too much
I'm never gonna stop yeah, I love this crutch
So if I kiss the ground, don't look 'round
God bless my big empty heart
God bless my big empty heart
I'm just a born again pessimist
I'll only kick you from the precipice
Come follow me, we'll march on heaven's gates
I'm never gonna spill my guts
It feels like death by a thousand cuts
So when the here and now holds me down
I fall apart
I don't wanna talk too much
I'm never gonna stop yeah, I love this crutch
So if I kiss the ground, don't look 'round

A New Moral Low Ground
Grit grinding under my teeth
I guess that I can stop, if I'm getting you down
I'll keep myself on a leash
If I were born to hang then I'll never be drowned
A feather knocked me down
Oh no, what a shame, I was stood in the jaws of defeat
Trying to fight for a new moral low ground
I see the parallels when the sinners are holding the arrows
No feeling left
Still we're dying to know
But that's the price that you pay for your sorrow
One love for your enemy
Two steps from the edge of your sanity
Three strikes for the cavalry
You've cut me close to the bone
Four walls that you'll never see
Five waits for a taste of humanity
Six feet, what a travesty
You've cut me close to the bone
Why don't you stick around?
It's just a game but we live on the edge of the seat
We like that and we ain't easy to talk 'round
We feel the dagger twist
When we're faced with the straight and the narrow
No feeling left
Still we're dying to know
But that's the price that you pay for your sorrow
One love for your enemy
Two steps from the edge of your sanity
Three strikes for the cavalry
You've cut me close to the bone
Four walls that you'll never see
Five waits for a taste of humanity
Six feet, what a travesty
You've cut me close to the bone
You've cut me close to the bone
Grit grinding under my teeth
I guess that I can stop, if I'm getting you down
I'll keep myself on a leash
If I were born to hang then I'll never be drowned
I'll never be drowned
Grit grinding under my teeth
God knows I'm getting you down
One love for your enemy
Two steps from the edge of your sanity
Three strikes for the cavalry
You've cut me close to the bone
Four walls that you'll never see
Five waits for a taste of humanity
Six feet, what a travesty
You've cut me close to the bone
I guess that I can stop, if I'm getting you down
I'll keep myself on a leash
If I were born to hang then I'll never be drowned
A feather knocked me down
Oh no, what a shame, I was stood in the jaws of defeat
Trying to fight for a new moral low ground
I see the parallels when the sinners are holding the arrows
No feeling left
Still we're dying to know
But that's the price that you pay for your sorrow
One love for your enemy
Two steps from the edge of your sanity
Three strikes for the cavalry
You've cut me close to the bone
Four walls that you'll never see
Five waits for a taste of humanity
Six feet, what a travesty
You've cut me close to the bone
Why don't you stick around?
It's just a game but we live on the edge of the seat
We like that and we ain't easy to talk 'round
We feel the dagger twist
When we're faced with the straight and the narrow
No feeling left
Still we're dying to know
But that's the price that you pay for your sorrow
One love for your enemy
Two steps from the edge of your sanity
Three strikes for the cavalry
You've cut me close to the bone
Four walls that you'll never see
Five waits for a taste of humanity
Six feet, what a travesty
You've cut me close to the bone
You've cut me close to the bone
Grit grinding under my teeth
I guess that I can stop, if I'm getting you down
I'll keep myself on a leash
If I were born to hang then I'll never be drowned
I'll never be drowned
Grit grinding under my teeth
God knows I'm getting you down
One love for your enemy
Two steps from the edge of your sanity
Three strikes for the cavalry
You've cut me close to the bone
Four walls that you'll never see
Five waits for a taste of humanity
Six feet, what a travesty
You've cut me close to the bone

all the love in the world
Is thunder written on your face?
'Cause we're balancing between the sky and fire
I see you begging for another taste
When the medicine is easy to acquire
We worship at the altar of the echo
But the keeper of the keys couldn't care any less so
Let go, let go, let go
Let's live a lifetime out in the cold
Nothing to see here, it's under control
The signal's dropping out
It never rains, it's always f*cking torrential
They say it's best that we forgot our potential
Have we nothing left to sing about now?
Do I really wanna shout about
All the love in the world?
All the love in the world
All the love in the world
All the love in the world
If you wanna lay it all to waste
Then repeat the message coming down the wire
I'm seeing apathy all upper case
Are you gonna be another gun for hire?
Eleven hours then a hail Mary
Can you shed another tear for the bodies that you bury?
Bless the empty with the devil they desire
Let's live a lifetime out in the cold
Nothing to see here, it's under control
The signal's dropping out
It never rains, it's always f*cking torrential
They say it's best that we forgot our potential
Have we nothing left to sing about now?
Do I really wanna shout about
All the love in the world?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
The signal's dropping out
If we're all machines then cut the scene
And don't look back
No, we never grieve our enemies
We never leave the pack
If they come for me when I'm asleep
Trace these tracks
'Cause impossibly, we came to be
From out the black
Let's live a lifetime out in the cold
Nothing to see here, it's under control
The signal's dropping out
It never rains, it's always f*cking torrential
They say it's best that we forgot our potential
Have we nothing left to sing about now?
Do I really wanna shout about
All the love in the world?
All the love in the world
All the love in the world
All the love in the world
'Cause we're balancing between the sky and fire
I see you begging for another taste
When the medicine is easy to acquire
We worship at the altar of the echo
But the keeper of the keys couldn't care any less so
Let go, let go, let go
Let's live a lifetime out in the cold
Nothing to see here, it's under control
The signal's dropping out
It never rains, it's always f*cking torrential
They say it's best that we forgot our potential
Have we nothing left to sing about now?
Do I really wanna shout about
All the love in the world?
All the love in the world
All the love in the world

be very afraid
Go
We bleed like an open wound
The stitches are of no use
Nothing will satisfy
We're suffering the classic symptoms of a broken spirit
You wanna push us to the f*cking limit?
This is how we keep a tiger tame
Nothing worth fighting for?
Just step outside your door
They all say revelation's on its way
So be very afraid
Revelation's on its way
Waiting for the world to burn
Living but we never learn
Sorry, it don't look good
We're suffering the classic symptoms of a broken spirit
You wanna push us to the f*cking limit?
This is how we keep a tiger tame
Nothing worth fighting for?
Just step outside your door
They all say revelation's on its way
If Armageddon can't eclipse our pain
Every action left will be in vain
It's like boiling the ocean
Nothing left to do but to bottle the emotion
'Cause we're all players and the world's a stage
We'll give a f*ck so long as we get paid
It's like boiling the ocean
Nothing left to do but to bottle the emotion
Be very afraid
It's like boiling the ocean
Everything we love lays resting on a broken spirit
You wanna push us to the f*cking limit?
These are the symptoms of a broken spirit
You wanna push us to the f*cking limit?
The classic symptoms of a broken spirit
You wanna push us to the f*cking limit?
This is how we keep a tiger tame
Nothing worth fighting for?
Just step outside your door
They all say revelation's on its way
They all say revelation's on its way
Be very afraid
Let's all be very afraid
'Cause they all say revelation's on its way
We bleed like an open wound
The stitches are of no use
Nothing will satisfy
We're suffering the classic symptoms of a broken spirit
You wanna push us to the f*cking limit?
This is how we keep a tiger tame
Nothing worth fighting for?
Just step outside your door
They all say revelation's on its way
