lyrics

i know i’m not the strangest one
in a room full of angels
begging me to show my tongue
shit i could’ve lost my lungs
if i inhaled any more of what i was

i heard they built a brand new sun
and it burns like a birthright
daring me to last a month
hell i might’ve drowned in blood
if they impaled who i’ve been with what i’ve done


i won the war
now i want more
good lies to die for
i’ll seal my fate
and meditate
on what the hell i’m doing awake

we broke our necks at the commune
straightened our spines like we had to


it’s all “off with their heads”
on repeat for centuries
my feet keep seeking release from the concrete
you can’t die on the eve of your death
if i’m the sleepwalker who woke up
what am i supposed to want to be?

so i tried to carve a place for three
in a mind going haywire
big enough for each of me
thought i made a damn good team
but the exorcism was buy one get one free


i won the war
now i want more
good lies to die for
i’ll seal my fate
and meditate
on what the hell i’m doing awake
i killed my pain
and felt the same
god loves a long game
i’ll play the bait
then ruminate
on what the hell i’m suffering to save

we broke our backs on repentance
we’re cauterized and defenseless


we made our beds and gouged our eyes
and crucified our heroes
we brushed our hair and bent our bones
and repossessed our shadows

screaming it can’t be real
it can’t be real
it can’t be


i heard they built a brand new sun
and it burns like a birthright
daring me to be someone
