lyrics

They will dress you up, just to take you out and break your face
Split your sides with laughter, meanwhile your heads’ erased

And when the bottle’s empty and you’re all alone you feel
And when the bottle’s empty and you’re all alone you feel

No it’s not so easy is it
Beaten down and overcome with sorrow
No it’s not the first time
Close your eyes it’s blackened till tomorrow

And so you spit names, choke on scenes, deeper in the shallow
And now you’re blind to facts, defend their thoughtless acts
and drown in the shallow

And when the bottle’s empty and you’re all alone you feel
And when the bottle’s empty and you’re all alone you feel

No it’s not so easy is it?
Beaten down and overcome with sorrow
No it’s not the first time
Close your eyes it’s blackened till tomorrow

And when you turn your back, they’ll be there with knives up yeah
And when you start to bleed, they’ll tell you how you’ve sinned
And no words can express the way I’m feeling now
Terrified, your heart stops - is this the end?

And it’s not the way yeah
There’s nowhere you can run, from the past and what’s been done
and I fall
Forgiveness just drowned in, just drowned, drowned in my head
The fists fall and life drops
It’s mapped out and you can’t stop
Break it down, watch it crumble on
Now there’s no sound when the music dies

You will be
You will be 
You will be
You will be gone
