lyrics
You can’t sleep without her velvet bones
The writing is clear across the wall
Enriched with sin but still you throw the first stone
With no cause of rhyme “I just wanted to you know?”
We start to crawl with no resolve
On the sacrificial altar there are no morals involved
Use me speak gently
Speak slowly
I can’t feel it
Harsh words are frightful
They mean nothing to me
You can feel it for what it is
Never leave from inside their narrows
For fifteen years we stay hidden
With well made plans to stay inside the catacombs
But you tore them up “I just wanted you to know?”
It’s safer here in the squalor
We can be heroes or we can be martyrs
Shipbuilders hands start building
I can’t see it
Upgrades and downgrades that mean nothing to me
At least it is something
You can see it for what it’s worth
“If you love something let it free”
“That’s a lie”
“It will come back so they say”
“Thats a lie”
I’ve fallen off of my throne and it feels so good
The writing is clear across the wall
Enriched with sin but still you throw the first stone
With no cause of rhyme “I just wanted to you know?”
We start to crawl with no resolve
On the sacrificial altar there are no morals involved
Use me speak gently
Speak slowly
I can’t feel it
Harsh words are frightful
They mean nothing to me
You can feel it for what it is
Never leave from inside their narrows
For fifteen years we stay hidden
With well made plans to stay inside the catacombs
But you tore them up “I just wanted you to know?”
It’s safer here in the squalor
We can be heroes or we can be martyrs
Shipbuilders hands start building
I can’t see it
Upgrades and downgrades that mean nothing to me
At least it is something
You can see it for what it’s worth
“If you love something let it free”
“That’s a lie”
“It will come back so they say”
“Thats a lie”
I’ve fallen off of my throne and it feels so good
