Sleep In The Fire

(album: Violent Allies - 2020)

You were there for me, nowhere, when you had nothing to gain
You always seem to find pleasure in my pain
You nurse and nurture me back from all my injuries
You break me down to keep you around, you're my cure and my disease

You make me give and take, I give and take, but nothing seems to change
I'm wide awake inside of this bed you made
Sleep in the fire
Sleep in the fire

It's not a crime if no one's caught in the company of thieves
Convincing me that what I need's to practice what you preach
You bend and break the truth just to keep your conscience clean
Tell yourself the end always justify the means

You make me give and take, I give and take, but nothing seems to change
I'm wide awake
You make me give and take, I give and take, but nothing seems to change
I'm wide awake inside of this bed you made
Sleep in the fire
Sleep in the fire

You make me give and take, I give and take, but nothing seems to change
I'm wide awake inside of this bed you made
Sleep in the fire
Sleep in the fire
Sleep in the fire
Sleep in the fire
