The Man That I Was Not
(专辑: Oh What The Future Holds - 2022)
Beggars can't be choosers Unless they opt out of the
game In rose-colored relief Empty out A
glass of my own veins I
kicked that back when Self-improvement sounded oh so sound A
toast to the
good old days They'll be rats here soon If it stays this quiet Let 'em in, let 'em stay Let 'em in, let 'em stay (At least something get's what it wants) Let 'em in, let 'em stay Let 'em in, let 'em stay Make me the
man that I
was not I've dug this grave a
hundred times The
dirt, exhausted as the
mind Make me the
man that I
was not Cold feet at the
altar of fire Inhale the
ash until the
lungs retire Make me the
man I
was not We are worlds apart A
phantom in a
fossilized city Where familiar alleys of dirt and stink Hide a
disposable culture Into a
vacuum of hope, we sink Phantom pain Phantom love in chest cavities, be gone Move on As the
teeth bite the
tongue to taste what is asked for You will get what you want You will get what you need Get what you deserve Ask and you shall receive You will get what you want You will get what you need Get what you deserve You get nothing Let us be forgotten Let us be forgotten Make me the
man that I
was not I've dug this grave a
hundred times The
dirt, exhausted as the
mind Make me the
man that I
was not Cold feet at the
altar of fire Inhale the
ash until the
lungs retire Make me the
man I
was not We are worlds apart Let 'em in, let 'em stay Let 'em in, let 'em stay (At least something gets what it wants) 'Cause the
god that gives Always takes away (Grieve) (Servant) (Lesser man) (Plead to close the
hole inside) (Betrayer of self) The
paradise we dream Just an oasis in the
abyss I've dug this grave a
hundred times If only to not exist In the
tragedy between earth and sky Where suffering collides We are worlds apart There will never be a
light for the
black hearts There will never be a
light for the
black hearts There will never be a
light for the
black hearts There will never be a
light for the
black hearts There will never be a
light for the
black hearts There will never be a
light for the
black hearts There will never be a
light for the
black hearts (There will never be a
light for the
black hearts) There will never be a
light for the
black hearts (There will never be a
light for the
black hearts) There will never be a
light for the
black hearts
