The Few That Remain

(album: This Will Be The Death Of Us - 2009)

Come on and break down and show us who you are.
Memorable first impressions only get you far
When you stay true from beginning to end.
Flexing all your morals, your environment will bend back
As you bend crooked.

Come on and break down fake personas from your art.
I used to hang on every verse when my days would get hard.
Flash forward to present day and time:
A fraud, a hoax, a method actor reading scripted lines back.
Why'd you take that path?
There's no way back.

We are the spark that once would ignite a pilot light burning deep in your heart.
The start of making yourself out to be bigger than you really are.

Conscience is calling, come and shut it up.
Yeah I know life gets rough sometimes
And big dollars take the pressure off of hard times,
But gluttony's a sin and hunger will not let you win if you don't get a grip.
Use some self will to control it, hold it.

[Hayley Williams:]
"Wooah guys uhm, is it cool if I get in on this here?"
(Hell yeah!)
(Dude, go for it!)

[Hayley Williams:]
Alright listen!
(Ohhhh)
I see you ready, set, go.
With unqualified pride, orders of your disguise explode.
Watch us double up on those who try to intimidate unaware eyes.
Fabrications of a buster living within a lie.
If you come back you'll have to get (get, get, get, get)
Through all of us.

We are the spark that once would ignite a pilot light burning deep in your heart.
The start of making yourself out to be bigger than you really are.
You instilled, helped to build
A belief within me that I carry to this day.
You passed the torch and cared no more.
What a shame. Who's to blame when the mighty fall from grace?

Go settle up with the kids fed up.
This time we want for you to man on up right
And account for all your crimes.
Go settle up with the kids fed up.
This time we want for you to man on up
Right now, I want you to say it.
I wanna know why you abandoned this and now hate it. Just why?
But you don't know why.
Such an elusive, guileful, meaningless sham.

Come on and break down
Come on and break down
Come on and break down
Come on and break down
Break down
Break down
Who's to blame?
Tell me who, who's to blame. Take the same.
Now when the mighty fall from grace?
