I don’t mind
The rising water
And falling sky
Play safe
Make haste
Just wait
Betray everything you suffered for
Save face
Play games
But can’t change
That empty taste in your mouth
Will you keep me company
As my candle burns out?
I can’t help thinking
That these rules were made up as they go
Who knew it’s not enough to bleed?
It makes one wonder
If we’ll rise above the waves
Or get pulled under?
Idolize
Some sense of purpose
And blatant lies
It’s staged
It’s all an illusion
You’ll be the last to see
Behave the price is a burden
Wolves make remarkable sheep
God forbid that I should give
My pity to the wealthy swine
Among us pigs
Unworthy of the air we breathe
The life we live
They figure if you knock one down
The rest will give way
Will you keep me company
As my candle burns out?
I can’t help thinking
That these rules were made up as they go
Who knew it’s not enough to bleed?
It makes one wonder
If we’ll rise above the waves
Or get pulled under?
I know exactly what you want
I just can’t give it to you
My soul is written in the foot
I’m sure my feet will follow through
Will you keep me company
As my candle burns out?
I can’t help thinking
That these rules were made up as they go
Who knew it’s not enough to bleed?
It makes one wonder
If we’ll rise above the waves
Or get pulled under?
