the classic symptoms of a broken spirit
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 morе than just a mercenary Therе'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, blegh 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

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 fucking 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 uppercase 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 fucking 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? Woah, oh-woah-oh Woah-oh, woah Woah-oh, woah-oh Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh 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 fucking 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
